Although they have moved past many things the humans struggle with, they are far from perfect, and things like the match-making system are perfect examples. Others ask why all the characters in such an "enlightened" society would be straight, or why there are still so many stereotypes in their world. I know most of the characters are white, but in later books more characters of various backgrounds become very important. There is some violence, and it gets slightly more intense as the series continues, but is about what you should expect from a fantasy novel.Ī lot of people are complaining that Keeper of the Lost Cities has stereotypes. There is no swearing, and the main character has a crush on some other characters, but that's it.

In addition, I feel like it is more aimed at kids in grades 6,7,8,9 than younger grades. I said age 11+ for this because although younger kids (9 or 10) might be fine with this book, the series gets slightly older as it goes on. Sophie must uncover the truth about the Lost Cities’ insidious past, before it repeats itself and changes reality.This is probably my favourite book series right now, and I'm proud to say I've read all 8.5 books multiple times. And with time running out, and mistakes catching up with them, Sophie and her allies must join forces in ways they never have before. The problems they’re facing stretch deep into their history. But nothing can prepare them for what they discover. Maybe even time for Sophie to trust her enemies.Īll paths lead to Nightfall – an ominous door to an even more ominous place – and Sophie and her friends strike a dangerous bargain to get there. The Neverseen have had their victories – but the battle is far from over. But she knows one thing: she will not be defeated. The sixth book in the international bestselling Keeper of the Lost Cities series. Perfect for readers aged 9+ and fans of Harry Potter, Rick Riordan and Amari and the Night Brothers.
