On the Shannon Messenger website, there are recipes for mallowmelt and ripplefluffs that you can make. I made the butter-toffee ripplefluffs over the weekend, amd they were AMAZING! The aluminum wrappers got a little messy, but that was only because I didn't grease them. Anyway, I totally recommend the recipe.

AHHHHH YESSS KEEPER OF THE LOST CITIES

I just finished book 8, Legacy, and I am SO glad Fitz and Sophie decided to be just friends for now. Fitzphie is the absolute WORST. Sokeefe is like a billion times better. Keefe is obviously like the best character. 

Here's a rant about how awful Fitzphie is XD :

Ok, first of all, Fitz is just such a bad character. He has no depth or personality (unlike Keefe) and Sophie only likes him because he's cute??? She has gone through way more with Keefe, and she knows him way better. And then with Fitzphie, there's all those times where they fight, and Fitz is just being so terrible to Sophie all the time! It's very painful reading all thise scenes. If Fitz and Sophie end up together in the end, I swear...

Anyway, rant over. Go team Foster-Keefe! :D

Yes I totally agree with Joan and Honey, Team Sokeefe! 

~SPOILERS FOR LEGACY AHEAD~ 

I'm just gonna rant for a sec about Sofitz: So, first of all, Fitz is just kind of a selfish person. He never really thinks about other people's opinions before he makes important choices and he always gets wayyy to angry and overreacts. When Sophie told Fitz that she couldn't get her lists because she didn't know her genetic dad and she wasn't willing to give Oralie away as her genetic mother, he just kinda broke up with her because he wanted to protect his family's 'legacy'. Anyways, Keefe and Sophie totally should end up together, though I have a suspicion that Shannon's gonna surprise us all at the end and have Sopie become a councillor and stay single forever or somthing lol. Sorry that got so long XD

The last book, whenever it comes out, should be called Swan Song. Random thoughts xd...

Yep, Team Foster-Keefe for the win! On the other hand, the Unlocked cliffhanger with Keefe will probably take a while to smooth over...

Ok, honestly here's my reasoning:

I think Sophie should end up with Fitz ONLY because then I can keep Keefe to myself. XD

BUT if that doesn't work out, then TOTALLY Sophie belongs to Keefe. They're adorable together!

I'm excited for the movie, but worried what will happen and if it will turn out like the Percy Jackson movies.... *shudder*

Also, *spoilers* 

I feel so sorry for Rex!! I hope he doesn't actually become talentless!

Plus, I'm super sad Keefe left.... it means there's not going to be any more Keefe amazingness and jokes/humor by Keefe in the next book! :(

*SPOILERS END*

Ok, but seriously, how Shannon Messenger pictured her characters (specifically Bo, Ro, Grizel, and Sandor is NOT how I pictured them.) I pictured Grizel not having a high ponytail, and both her and Sandor having definitely large feet, but also longer faces and longer flat noses. Ro's pigtails also I imagined being much longer. 

Also, does anyone think Keefe reminds you of Leo from the Percy Jackson series? He does for me!

I've only read the first two books in.. lets say the last 24 hours. It is new to me, but I LOVE IT. Why do you guys dislike Fitz so much? Sure he was a *actaully I shouldnt say this* when Alden's mind was 'broken' but he is okay. Actaully, take that back. THEY ARE ALL ANNOYINg. No kidding but I cant like Keefe he is too iresponsible. Or at least when he gets Sophie in detention. Anyway, Dex is okay I think. Alden is like, regal and stuff he has authority (a little). And I didnt know Oralie was her genetic mother. I think, I will have fun. Also, I can agree with you guys, THOSE CLIFFHANGERS argh so so so the worst. Sorry ive talked enough.

You might need to read more to realize the annoying-ness of Fitz...

And the awesomeness of Keefe...

Although yeah, I don't think Fitz is that bad, he's just kinda flat and boring compared to Keefe. 

 

Twiga says <wutex>. What Dex? Do you like Dex better, Twiga?
