Review
Wow. David Green continues to impress his fans with his writing style. Whether it be epic fantasy, urban fantasy or his new cozy neurodivergent fantasy novel Magic, Maps and Mischief. And let me tell you. Grab yourself a cup of tea a biscuit, of your choice and buckle up for one of the most cosiest adventures of a lifetime.
After meeting the main character Greton of Willow in David Greens previous series Empire Of Ruin set two centuries after Magic Maps and Mischief. We follow Gretons new adventure, an autistic elderly sparker or mage to find his hearts desire.
Greton of Willow is a wonderfully written character. Who I have come to love dearly over the last year. He’s quirky. Loves Map making, tea, cakes, cosy fires and Whisky and above all else family.
All Greton wants is to belong. To be loved for who he is and when an unfortuitous event causes him to go on the run and leave his home and his library behind. With new beginnings on the horizon for the old sparker. Will he find his hearts desire or is he destined to keep running. Check it out you won’t regret it.
If you love your fantasy to be cosy, magical, full of adventure. Neurodivergent characters and just some good old storytelling at its finest. Then look no further, you have come to the right place with Magic Maps and Mischief.
If you haven’t read any of David Greens work or series yet. I very highly recommend you do. Now for Gretons new adventure Charms Charts and Conspiracies, I don’t mind if I do, thank you very much ..😁🦉☕️🍰🥃
Synopsis
What Would You Do To Discover Your Heart’s Desire?
Greton of Willow is in a spot of bother. Caught in the act while escorting a family of elves to safety, Greton flees for greener pastures with only his scant magic and brilliant mind to his name.
And a question. The question.
‘What is your heart’s desire?’
A life-long outsider, Greton sets out to uncover what lies at the centre of his heart. Is it adopting a tawny owl? Owning his very own map shop? Forging a found family with others as similarly scorned as himself? The possibilities are endless. Determined to put his marvellous mind to the task, Greton discovers a way to reveal anyone’s heart’s desire, but not everyone’s longings are as pure as his…
Something odd is occurring in Greton’s new home of Barrow’s Hill, and, before long, the old man in search of a comfortable new life finds himself swept up in danger and mischief.
A heart-felt, cozy, neurodivergent adventure filled with found family and an elderly autistic hero searching for his place in the world, ‘Magic, Maps, and Mischief’ is a story built on love, friendship and acceptance, perfect for readers of ‘Legends and Lattes’, ‘The Teller of Small Fortunes’ and ‘Under The Whispering Door’.
