Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger
4.0
adventurous lighthearted relaxing medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Let me <i>preface</i> this review by saying that the only reason that this is a 4 star is because I WILL read the rest of the series and I know it gets better from here on. I love Sophie?? I'm way too old for middle grade but this is my kinda book regardless. I mean PHEW! 

Sure, she's a typical fantasy main character , the "Chosen One", the strongest and most talented but y'know what? It works, there's a valid enough reason here and you get so swept up in the wonderful character relationships. I love, and want to stay to see more of, Sophie with her friends and family. Just a warm book, I liked uncovering the secrets and loved the ending. 4/5 stars.
