Representaion Supposing Books The Glass Sentence (The Mapmakers Trilogy #1)

She has only seen the world through maps. She had no idea they were so dangerous.
 
Boston, 1891. Sophia Tims comes from a family of explorers and cartologers who, for generations, have been traveling and mapping the New World—a world changed by the Great Disruption of 1799, when all the continents were flung into different time periods.  Eight years ago, her parents left her with her uncle Shadrack, the foremost cartologer in Boston, and went on an urgent mission. They never returned. Life with her brilliant, absent-minded, adored uncle has taught Sophia to take care of herself.

Then Shadrack is kidnapped. And Sophia, who has rarely been outside of Boston, is the only one who can search for him. Together with Theo, a refugee from the West, she travels over rough terrain and uncharted ocean, encounters pirates and traders, and relies on a combination of Shadrack’s maps, common sense, and her own slantwise powers of observation. But even as Sophia and Theo try to save Shadrack’s life, they are in danger of losing their own.

The Glass Sentence plunges readers into a time and place they will not want to leave, and introduces them to a heroine and hero they will take to their hearts. It is a remarkable debut.

Assessment Of Books The Glass Sentence (The Mapmakers Trilogy #1)

In 1799, the world changed radically: the Great Disruption threw all continents into different time periods, different eras coexisting in a chaotic mix and match of generations and historical periods. Europe is back to a papal state and parts of North America are pre-historical. Africa is a land of Pharaohs to the North whereas parts of Asia and South America are far into the future. In the Baldlands, past, present and future are dramatically fused into one single territory, the Triple Eras.It

4 starsAlthough middle grades are not among my top favourites, I really enjoyed this book! It's unique, strange, adventurous. A bit confusing at times, but it's a minor complaint.Sophie, the MC, is a caring, witty 13 years old girl and it was enjoyable to read from her perispective. I really liked the secondary characters as well, such as Blanca, Calixta, and Shadrack.There are so many strange creatures, for example the Lachrima: jeez, they're creepy creatures, but their stories are also really

"You will see it through me."- taken from The Glass SentenceSet apart from the other science fiction novels with its lack of world wars, plague outbreaks, or zombies, The Glass Sentence is a world unhinged by the least likeliest source of terror: time. Much of the world is now Unknown; every continent thrown into different Ages. The United States is now the New Occident, the West has not been won, and Boston is the home of all things political, including our wee teen protagonist Sophia Tims.The

This book is something special. Its pages can barely contain the immense imagination that has come up with characters, races, environments, maps, and magics that are all described with consummate skill. I'm a reader who is often more moved by books that have an adequate plot but exceptional prose -- in other words, the how is more important to me than the what. But with this book, I simply stand in awe of the what. I dig the premise that the world has become fragmented in time. I dig Grove's

3 stars! I hate giving this book a 3 stars because I thought I would really like it and it turn out that I really did not like it. To me it did not really catch my attention that much. It was really not the right boom for me. I was hoping to like it as much as what it sounded like.

Review to come... The story premise is 5-star, unique, and original. The reality is overall more like: 3 stars for characterization; 4 stars for the plot; 2 stars for the disturbing and/or over-explained aspects that I don't think are right for "ages 10 and up." I would change that to ages 13 and up. I haven't been this conflicted about a children's book in some time... I'm averaging my rating to 3 stars, but this was an odd book for me. More later...

The entire time I was reading another book with a character named Theo, I was reminded of my Theo in this one. Also, since its been a few years since I last read this book, I thought it was time for a re-read. ;)My rating has changed since my first read through, and my feelings about it are pretty mixed, so Ill be doing this review in list format. So we can end on a positive (way too fan-girly) note, Ill start with the things I dislikedThings I Disliked1. The cover. They changed the cover to be
