Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger
5.0
After knowing about this series for so long, hearing my middle-grade reading adult friends rave about it, and being intrigued by its comparison to Harry Potter, I can finally say I have read this book. A bonus is that it lives up to the hype! Sophie is a delightful, caring, compassionate smart and fun female protagonist. She is a joy to root for, and I loved getting to know all of the other characters in this new world especially Dex, Keefe, and Fitz. I like that the characters are teenagers - Sophie is 13 in this book because I think that helps with cross over appeal between older middle grade and younger YA readers.
I am surprised at how much I enjoyed this book because I am not typically a fantasy fan, and I don't even think I've ever read a book series with elves! Actually, I had no idea this was about elves but that didn't even throw me when I found it out because I was already so charmed by the story.
I will definitely recommend this to readers who are looking for a fun fantasy series. I have already placed a hold on Book #2 and I look forward to reading it next month.
