Keeper of the Lost Cities
by Shannon Messenger
OMG this is a fantastic story! And I say that as a 53 yr old grown woman! I am hooked!
I work at a Barnes & Noble in the kids dept and shelve this series all the time. I am impressed by the size of these books since most of the kids that come in looking for books only want graphic novels or balk at any book that isn’t skinny and have pictures. I can’t tell you how many times I hear kids complaining to parents that a book is too long…yet this series has what, 9 books in it and each one rivals the HP series in length? And they sell constantly! Obviously this was worth checking out!
And this is just the sort of series I would have LOVED as a child. I always loved to find a new series and thick books because it meant there was so much more story to them! The thicker the better! Especially if I ended up loving the story!
Then you add that this is a fantasy series full of mystery…and about elves??? Sign me up!!
I am immediately picking up the next one and pretty sure I’ll be buying this entire series soon!
Holy wow the story is intricate and the characters deep and varied and I just LOVE everything about this so far!
