I just finished them yesterday. And I am going crazy. So here is a thread to talk about KOTLC!

YES! Aren't they great! I am totally an KotLC enthusiast. They're probably my favorite books of all time! Especially book four as you might guess (if you know why, virtual bonus points that don't really mean anything). I can't wait for book 9! By the way, if you like Shannon Messanger's books, I suggest trying the Skyfall series she wrote.

First of all, my ships. I ship a lot, but these are the three closest to my heart.

1. Dexiana.

Come on.

It was clearly meant to be. (Tiana-ers, don't kill me please heh.) A Dizznee and a Vacker? Perfect. *screaming and other rebellious noises*

But also, if you're wondering why I don't ship Ditz, is because Dex is way too good for Fitz. (Ditz is, in addition, a horrible ship name.) Also, Biana and Dex have an actual sort of *sparkles* thing *sparkles* going on already. 

2. Marellinh

I don't think I need to tell you why this would be adorable? Linh and Marella are two of my favorite characters of all time, especially Marella. And they're already so cute as friends. please shannon i'm begging you

just as long as Lylie doesn't become canon, i'm good though XD

3. Kam? Lord Hunkybangs? Ugh, there's no good ship names for this.

But I feel like I should say this first: Sokeefers and Tiana-ers, please don't kill me :) 

This probably won't happen, because I think Shannon's going to make Tam end up with Glimmer (ew ew ew) or Biana (NO I NEED MY DEXIANA) and I feel like Sophie and Keefe is pretty much canon at this point (NOOO KEEFE SHE'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU), but this is so perfect. Eh, I can dream, can't I :)

Second, my favorite book:

Neverseen, mostly because of Aluveterre. So yeah, your name immediately reminded me of that and I'm ridiculously happy that this is actually why it is that, @Neverseen XD My location is Atlantis because of KotLC, actually! 

Third:

My favorite characters:

KEEFE! KEEFE! KEEFE! (I'm channeling my inner Silveny, lizards)

Also Marella and Linh. 

Least favorite characters:

Sophie and Fitz. But Fitz mostly. I get that a lot of hard things happened to the Vackers but like... Fitz is just so annoying, even without the anger management issues.

Also Sophie is annoying and the way she's just dragging this out is killing me slowly augh

Fourth

anyone else really, really, really mad about Shannon's cliffhangers? 

ESPECIALLY THE ONE IN UNLOCKED

like COME ON I've been waiting ALL YEAR for this and THIS IS WHAT YOU DO TO ME

*sobbing* 

Also RO IS THE BESSSSSTTTTT

YES I LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH!! A couple of things:

1. Fitz is really annoying, and in my opinion Sofitz is the worst ship, especially since what happened in Legacy :(

2. I love Sokeefe <333

3. Dexiana was meant to BE

4. Marella and Linh would make a pretty cool couple XD

5. Favorite book is Neverseen, idk why :P

6. I love the whole concept of the world, but it almost seems a little... too perfect for me? Like, it's so flawless that it borders on unrealistic. Still, I love the characters and storylines!

7. SHANNON'S CLIFFHANGERS ARE THE WORST!

Okay,

1. My favorite ship is Sokeefe, and I'm COMPLETELY OBSESSED WITH IT lol. I also love Dexiana and Marellinh, and I guess if I had to ship Keefe with someone who's not Sophie (which would break my heart) it would be Tam

2.  FITZ IS THE WORST. I never liked him, not even from the first book, and then in Flashback and Legacy I was just dying through all the Fitzphie scenes. Ew. 

3. I don't know what my favorite book is yet, I think I need to read them again to figure that out

4. YES THE CLIFFHANGERS AAAAAA THE CLIFFHANGERS I CANT EVEN!!!! They're the worst!!!! @ Luminescence, the one in Unlocked literally had me crying.

5. My favorite characters are KEEFE (because how could he not be), Linh, and...idk...maybe Ro? She's my favorite bodyguard for sure

Yes! The cliff hangers are maddening! I also wanted to mention I love the cover art for these books. They actual match the images my brain comes up with for what the people would look like! I find that rare for most books.

YES THANK YOU PEOPLE DEXIANA IS THE BEEEESSSTT

Well, second-best, because Sokeefe.

Favorite book is probably Nightfall because of Amy

And Silver Crystal, I kinda agree about the perfect-world thing, although what annoys me more is the elves' skills - they're just sooo much more powerful than humans, even down to being prettier, and all of their skills are kinda overkill. But the worldbuilding and plot is really really good anyway.

WHY THE UNLOCKED CLIFFHANGEEEEEEEERRRRRR *sniff* I am going to go insane before November 

Twiga says <rowyo> Ro WHYYYYY idk what my CAPTCHA is saying, although I do know she likes Dex better than Fitz or Keefe

@Sabine, I'm sorry this is unrelated, but is your name from the Star Wars Rebels show?

YES I HAVE BEEN READING (hamilton refrence) NON-STOP FOR THE PAST 5 DAYS AND I AM ON BOOK 4 AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS SERIES AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

 

I'm on Team Foster-Keef, but I love the relationship between Fitz and Sophie because (as of where I am in the series) they're Cognates-in-training. NO ONE SPOIL IT IF THEY AREN'T
