Book 18: "The Alchemist's Apprentice" by Jeremy Dronfield

[kittiwake]

It's hard to say much about this book without giving too much away. All I can say is that famous author Madagascar Rhodes disappears without trace, and oddly no-one except his best friend since childhood seems to remember that he or his bestselling book ever existed.

I enjoyed it, but found myself getting a bit frustrated with the constant weirdness and wishing that the author would hurry up and explain what was going on. And when he finally revealed what had happened to Drick, it was a bit of a let-down.
