Ah, “The Cartographers” by Peng Shepherd. This cover is a labyrinth of bookshelves, an enticing light bulb, and a compass. As someone who gets lost no matter how many maps I carry, I’m hoping this book might finally help me out.

The design hints at a tale filled with mysteries and hidden secrets, probably involving a lot of maps and perhaps some clandestine journeys. It looks like a brilliantly plotted adventure that promises to be as twisty as my attempts at navigation.

JABBIC Rating: ★★★★☆
