Then, plot elements started to repeat themselves. Additionally, the character list became so long that Messenger tends to drop them for a few books at a time–even main characters like Sophie’s “best friend” Dex or boys who were set up to be potential crushes. Consequently, the overall plot was lost and the series ended up with three different villains who probably should be connected, but aren’t, really. But guess what? It doesn’t! Book 10 (or 11, if you count book 8.5) is on the way!Īs the series grew, Messenger started obviously making up new plot twists that didn’t really make sense, but made for good cliffhangers. I think it was supposed to initially only be five books, then seven, then nine, then book 8.5 came out, and then this book, Stellarlune was finally supposed to wrap everything up. Initially, I fell in love with the series, and would loudly proclaim to one and all the reasons everyone should pick it up. I have had conflicting thoughts about the Keeper of the Lost Cities books, and book nine neatly encapsulates many of the things I both love and hate about the series.
