Keeper of the Lost Cities
by Shannon Messenger
I didn’t really know too much going into this, but it follows our MC Sophie, who was raised as a human. Then she finds out she is an elf and goes to live in a secret elf city where she is trained in a magical school and placed with a new family.
I thought the most successful part was the new family she lives with. There were a few reactions that were a little lacking, but I thought that element added a lot of depth to the story as a whole. However, I also thought Sophie was a little too perfect at everything and the plot did feel repetitive at parts (she’s a 13 year old who goes to court like 6 times in one book), but it was a fun read with crushes and making friends and magic just conveniently working perfectly for everyone.
3.5
