I want to love this but there was a ton of world-building in this book. I have book 2 ready to go but I didn't love this one. The story has such a mix of Harry Potter and Percy Jackson....

This was great fun! I'm all for a middle grade with a magical school where the MC is discovering a new world/their new powers for the first time! Such fun!
trigger warnings: loss of a child in a fire (in the past), forced separation from family, kidnapping and being drugged.

Before I read this book I looked at some reviews to get a general idea on the rating. The first one I saw was a long paragraph on how bad it was, I have to disagree. It may be overdone but this is a young adult book cantered around a kid. Of course she’s the “chosen one” it would be boring if Sophie wasn’t. Personally I think her character ha sailor depth and I’m excited to read the next book. Sophie really seems to be having some emotional conflicts throughout the book and so does Alden.

I loved it! The world was super interesting, I loved the characters, and there was just enough action. Definitely recommend!
Ein Jugendbuch, das es schafft, sowohl Jung als auch Alt zu begeistern. Der Auftakt der Keepers-Reihe ist von Anfang an spannend und überrascht bis zum Schluss mit Plot-Twists. Auch wenn der Anfang noch ein wenig an Percy Jackson oder Harry Potter erinnert, schafft es Shannon Messenger immer mehr, ihre eigene Welt zu erschaffen, die die Leserinnen gemeinsam mit Sophie immer mehr erkunden. Ein Jugendbuch mit einem großartigen Worldbuilding und bei dem man wirklich mit den Figuren mitfühlen kann.
