I decided to read this book because I overheard some of my friends talking about it and I was a little curious. I checked it out and it is amazing! It’s a fun, adventure book with a lot of mysteries to solve. This book it definitely worth looking into.

I LOVE THIS SERIES SOOO MUCH. Please read it! No words to describe it, even "amazing" isn't enough. Also, before you read my review, there are spoilers ahead, and you won't understand this review unless you've read books 1 and 2. In this book, Sophie Foster's abilities have been healed. She can now heal broken minds. She's been hoping that the rulers of the Lost Cities, the Council, will ask her to heal Prentice's mind, but she is shocked when the Council asks her to heal the mind of Fintan, a pyrokinetic - and a murderer. She and a (cute) boy named Fitz try to heal his mind. They think it's not working, but then they realize that Fintan was just hiding his consciousness so he could secretly spark Everblaze - a ruthless fire that destroys everything in its path. Sophie rushes to make the only known extinguisher, but Councillor Kenric, Sophie's loyal supporter, was lost to the flames. One day at Foxfire, Sophie's school, her best friend Dex presents her with a circlet that is supposed to enhance her abilities, but it seems to do otherwise, so she gives is back to Dex. At Kenric's planting in the Wanderling Woods, the ogre King Dimitar shows up, and Sophie tries to read his mind. She's had many suspicions about the ogres, and since Sophie's a telepath, she has the opportunity to make Some discoveries - sort of. Despite how sneaky she was, Dimitar caught her poking around his mind and almost brings her to his work camps until Lady Cadence, who lived with the ogres for years, talks him out of it. Even so, the Council forces Sophie to wear the terrible circlet! It not only restricts her telepathy, but (WARNING, MAJOR SPOILERS FROM PREVIOUS BOOKS AHEAD) even restricts her polyglot, inflictor, and teleporting abilities. And what will she do, when she discovers that her friends are about to be ambushed? In this suspenseful third book in the Keeper of the Lost Cities series, Sophie must deal with change and risk her life for the people she loves most. Here is the series in order: #1: Keeper of the Lost Cities (or KEEPER for short), #2: Exile, #3: Everblaze, #4: Neverseen, #5: Lodestar, 6: Nightfall, #7: Flashback, #8: Legacy, #8.5: Unlocked. And for those Keeper fans who've finished the series, Shannon has named book 9 Stellarlune! The cover has also been revealed YAYYYYY! Have a great day, and enjoy the series!

I love the series because the ideas are so good and different from anything that I've read before

omg best book and series ever cant wiat for shannon messenger to come out with book 9

Have you ever heard of something called Everblaze? If you didn’t it is a fire that destroys everything in its path. Eveblaze is only put out by something called frissyn. In order to save Eternia and the people they love, Sophie and Fitz must defeat the ferocious Everblaze in “Keeper of the Lost Cities: Everblaze” book three of the series. In the third book, a variety of events occur. After Sophie tells the Council she could heal minds, the Council decides they are going to heal Fintan. While they were trying to heal Fintan he made Everblaze go into the sky. Sophie, Fitz, and Councilor Oralie almost died but instead, Kenric pushed them away, saving them. At his funeral, the Ogre King came. Sophie wanted to know if the ogres were at the sanctuary so she was going to read his mind. When she tried, the Ogre King realized it quickly and told the councilors. Sophie’s punishment for reading the Ogre King’s mind was that they were going to take away her abilities. When Sophie told Grady that Brant killed Jolie, Grady went to confront Brant. Sophie had to help Grady so she had to take off the thing that took away her abilities. That’s why Alden decided that Sophie and her friends were going to go to the Black Swan. What I liked about the book was that Shannon Messenger creates a clear perspective of the internal conflict that the main character Sophie faces. I also loved the emotions portrayed by the different characters in the novel. I think the theme of this book was “if you set your mind to it you can do it”. I think that is the theme because despite the gadget supposedly taking away Sophie’s abilities, her determination allowed her to read the mind of Mr. Leto. When the Council asked she tried if it worked it did but Sophie didn’t give up Sophie kept pushing all her mental force to do it. She eventually did it but didn’t tell the Council. Sophie Foster, the main character, is always in danger because the Black Swan planted their secrets in her. The Neverseen has been tracking her and trying to get the information about the Black Swan's secrets. Sophie doesn’t want Keefe, Fitz, Biana, and Dex to come, scared they would also get hurt. Some characters that almost always had Sophie’s back are Keefe, Biana, Fitz, and Dex. Keefe is a prankster; he also is an Empath meaning that he feels Sophie’s feelings. He also comes with Sophie to go to the Black Swan. Biana, Fitz, and Dex also come with Sophie to the Black Swan not wanting to leave Sophie's side. Something interesting that I learned about the Elven World is that it’s ruled by something called a Council. The Council is usually half males and half females. I would give this 5 stars because it is creative. I would recommend this to kids in fourth grade because it has some violence. It was very emotional and understandable.
