My Review:

All right, here we go. I read KOTLC for the first time a few years ago and I’m rereading the series to prepare for the second-to-last book.

Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger is very near and dear to my heart. Sophie is delightfully oblivious, Fitz is absurdly perfect, and Keefe is actually perfect. The world of the Lost Cities is so interesting and intricate. The variety of powers and talents displayed is more than most people think to include, which I really liked. Of all of the books, Keeper of the Lost Cities is probably the best quality, but it isn’t my favorite.

Fitz is supposed to be so incredible and perfect, and I get that this is proven wrong in the coming books, but it still really annoys me that Sophie is so obsessed with him. I guess I can grant some liberties though, since the oldest main character is, like, 15. The series definitely gets really confusing, but overall, it’s a great read.

Keeper of the Lost Cities is great for younger readers who want to start a new ongoing series, and as far as I know, the last book comes out next year!

⭐️⭐️⭐️/5.
