Mapmakers and the Flickering Fortress by Cameron Chittock, Amanda Castillo
5.0
10/10 graphic novel trilogy. i want more from the artist and writer. it's such an obvious story of colonization and how it links to basically ruining the land and nature. i love that so much, very important for kids to learn that. the characters are all great. i liked the new mapmaker's design, she's so pretty and cute. oh and when other mapmakers around the world showed up and one of them was a hijabi, i squealed with happiness. i feel like a kid when i see myself represented in a place that isn't necessarily expected but soo needed. i think the ending was pretty satisfying although I wanted to know what happened to the evil boss/colonizer and to the constable. it felt a bit rushed. Lewis was definitely my favorite, he's just so cute and relatable and i loved that the writer gave him such importance in the end. would buy physical copies of teh graphic novels when i have the money for sure. oh and i just saw that it's recommended to ATLA fans, i will say 100% agree as a die hard fan, it scratches the same itch lol.
