Adventure, mapmaking, and secrets all come together in this fantastic story about one girl who dreams about more. In a town that resides in the Valley, Mapmakers have vanished and so have their magic, now the town is ruled by the Night Coats who heavily enforce rules and do not want the old magic to come back or for the people to leave. Alidade dreams about leaving her town and seeing the world, but unfortunately for her she keeps getting in trouble with the Night Coats, and on one particularly occasion while running away she finds a magical door in the woods that leads her to the hideaway that belongs to the Mapmakers. She accidentally brings to life Blue, a magical creature that was meant to protect the Valley but has been forgotten. Now Alidade must decide if she wants to remain low or finally seize the magic that is in front of her and change her town. This was a fun read and the artwork was nice. I look forward to where the story continues!
