Keeper of the Lost Cities: Neverseen
THIS REVIEW IS GAURANTEED SPOILER-FREE!
With all the action you'd expect from a "Keeper" novel, the fourth book in this series packs plenty of toe-curling moments and an emotional grip that'll never let you go. Plus, you'll get plenty of the three guys (Dex, Fitz, and Keefe) to keep you content for a lifetime.

Rating: 5/5

I loved this book so much! Between the twisting plot and the edge-of-your-seat suspense, you'll inevitably want to read it in one seating. With over 600 pages, there's a lot of book to love. You'll meet some new characters, and receive a few surprises about some of your favorite characters along the way. Sophie is (as always) a heroine worth fighting for, and as she picks up the pieces that fell during Everblaze, you learn even more about her.

Major Characters:

In keeping with the spoiler-free atmosphere, I'll only go into sparse details on characters. I'm leaving out two decently notable new characters only because describing them would involve spoiling...

Sophie Foster

Sophie is an elf who was raised by humans. After being discovered by Fitz, Sophie moves to the Lost Cities to stay. She is eventually adopted by Grady and Edaline Ruewen, who are friends of Fitz' parents. She has the ability to inflict pain, understand any language, and perform Telepathy (to name a few). She's a bit of a legend among telepaths, with a nearly impenetrable mind and telepathic abilities that you'd be hard-pressed to overstate. Her love interests include Fitz, Keefe, and Dex.

Fitz Vacker

The first elf (besides Sophie) that you meet in the first book is Fitz. He's described as being tall, with dark hair and teal eyes. His parents are Alden and Della Vacker, and Biana Vacker is his sister. Fitz is a telepath, one of the most talented in the elvin world. His love interests include Sophie.

Dex Diznee

Dex is an elf in Keeper of the Lost Cities. He's Sophie's best friend, and also one of her love interests. Dex is a technopath, meaning he has the ability to manipulate technology. Throughout the series, you learn a lot about Dex's personality. He's fiercely loyal, intelligent, as well as a little oblivious. His love interests include Sophie.

Keefe Sencen

Keefe is an elf (duh), as well as some of the comedic relief in Keeper of the Lost Cities. With Keefe's ever-present sense of humor, it's a shock to find out that he's constantly being pressured for perfection by his uptight parents. Keefe is an empathy (or somebody with the ability to read people's emotions). He connects really well with Silveny the Alicorn throughout the series, and is especially comfortable around Sophie as well. Fitz is his best friend, and his love interests include Sophie.

Who Should Read This?

I'd recommend this book (and the entire series) for anybody who can understand the vocabulary and themes in it. If I had to put an age limit, I would probably estimate around 8 or 9+. There's nothing really offensive, given that all the romance is innocent and sweet and there's no drugs, alcohol, or smoking. There is some bullying and intense scenes, but those add to the depth and emotional character of the book.


Love ya!
