Even though I enjoyed reading all of it, there were times that I was really bored because nothing was happening. It keeps the world new and exciting, even eight books in.ĭespite all those amazing things, Legacy wasn’t all that great. I wouldn’t say that the Lost Cities is the most intricate thing I’ve ever read, but there are always new and interesting things that we get to learn about their world in each book–which is something I really enjoy. I also love the creativity in this series. Their relationships are real and complex and all-around interesting things to read about. Considering the entire ending of the book, I’m actually getting really emotional thinking of how wonderful the characters are and how much they have turned into amazing (fictional) characters?!? Every character makes mistakes, and no matter how long we have been rooting for them or a ship, Shannon stays true to her characters. There were some moments where I could so clearly tell how much all of the characters had grown (it made the mom in me proud). Our annoying, lovable little 12 and 13 year olds from the first couple books have evolved into full on young adults. There was such huge (and heartwarming) character growth in this series. There was also a greater importance placed on some of our favorite side characters, which I loved so much.Ĭharacters. Legacy excels in a lot of things: creativity, plot-twists, character development, and staying true to vital character’s personality and decisions no matter what the fanbase may think. Not only that, but I finished the book in a day (I started reading at midnight, went to bed at 3, got home from school and read ’till 9pm) and I’ve actually forced myself to have a sleep schedule this year, which has really helped manage stress, but I sacrificed it all to read Legacy because it was going to be worth it.Īnd it was…for me at least (I’ll get into that later). Still, I think that it is a testament to her writing that she is able to keep me, a weary, old fan engaged this far into the series. It’s partially my fault for overhyping them, and I’ve also grown out of the recommended age range (which was funny since I was one of the only people above the age of fourteen at Shannon’s event who wasn’t a parent). Since Lodestar, I’ve always felt a little bit let down after reading these books. I’ll try and give it an objective, stand-alone perspective and then a full feels review because this book definitely had some feels. It’s going to be a little bit different than my regular reviews (what previous ones? I haven’t posted in months) since this series is really close to me. The book had some gorgeous inside cover art:Īnyway, I’m going to get into my review. She even recognized me from MMGM! (One of the best days of my life) This time that I met her, I had like two minutes to meet her (which is also awesome, because it means so many other people have come to love and support the series, which is why it’s been allowed to go on for so long!) The story, character, and tone from the first couple books have changed drastically and the fan base has grown so large! The first time I met Shannon, I was the only one in line to sign with her and we were able to talk for like ten to twenty minutes! It was amazing. I think this is my sixth review of a book from this series? I first started the series wayyy back in 2014, and boy has so much changed. And the harder they fight, the more the lines blur between friend and enemy. Every memory forces them to question everything-especially one another. She and her friends are part of something much bigger than they imagined-and their roles have already been chosen for them.Įvery clue drags them deeper into the conspiracy. Even the smallest secret comes with terrifying new responsibilities.Īnd Sophie’s not the only one with blank spots in her past, or mysteries surrounding her family. But after a lifetime of lies, sometimes the truth is the most dangerous discovery. Illusions shatter-and Sophie and her friends face impossible choices-in this astonishing eighth book in the New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling Keeper of the Lost Cities series.
