This is a fun book to read. It is a relief to get answers after to huge cliffhanger of the previous book in the series.

It's half story companion, half novella. And the novella is GOOD. After so much drag and redundancy in books 7 & 8, the novella is a nice antidote - it moves quick containing only the essentials and is amazing.

Wow. Just wow.

This cliffhanger left me sobbing. I can not believe what happened here and I was not expecting it at all. It left me shaking and sobbing,

I WAS RIGHT AGAIN. Why am I on a roll? Are these twists just kinda predictable? First Oralie, now the polyglot thing. I LOVE Keefe so much. Poor thing. Teenage boy angst. Why is Keefe kind of obsessed with Sophie. I mean, it’s really, really cute. His mind is 90% Sophie and 10% him being a boyfail. Also, why was everybody so mad when Sophie burned down the Neverseen hideout. I get not stooping to their level, but all they’ve proven so far is that they’re lackeys who have no backbone 😭 Also, as if that was the worst plan they have ever come up with. Forkle’s plans were dog. Like actual BS.

“But Sophie called for me. And I came back for her. I’ll always.”

“For a second, Keefe could imagine himself right there beside her, with her head resting gently on his shoulder.”

!!!!!! Just let them be happy. PLEASE

It may be short, but Unlocked packs a lot of revelations into 200 pages. Keefe's ability is a complete game-changer, and Sophie develops so much as a character.
I've gotta say, the Flashback-Legacy-Unlocked trio is my favorite. They're all just so good!
And unfortunately, I now have to wave goodbye to the KotLC series for the year. My reflection on the series has made me realize that it's not perfect, but it's very sentimental and nostalgic for me. It's my childhood favorite! There's just something so great about secret cities full of elves. :) Hopefully as I grow up, I find a [young] adult favorite that makes me feel the same way.
