In this unforgettable seventh book in the New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling Keeper of the Lost Cities series, Sophie must let the past and present blur together, because the deadliest secrets are always the ones that get erased.
Sophie Foster doesn’t know what—or whom—to believe. And in a game with this many players, the worst mistake can be focusing on the wrong threat.
But when the Neverseen prove that Sophie’s far more vulnerable than she ever imagined, she realizes it’s time to change the rules. Her powerful abilities can only protect her so far. To face down ruthless enemies, she must learn to fight.
Unfortunately, battle training can’t help a beloved friend who’s facing a whole different danger—where the only solution involves one of the biggest risks Sophie and her friends have ever taken. And the distraction might be exactly what the villains have been waiting for.

2.5 rounded up but ms messenger ur on thin ice
this book SUCKED. the last sentence of this book makes me want to never read anything else ever.
but yes i will be reading the entire series
Okay what happened??? Because that was a severe disappointment after the four previous installments. I really enjoyed Everblaze, Neverseen, Lodestar, and (despite some minor issues I had with it) Nightfall. However, compared to those, this book just feels so... subpar?
The first thing I didn't like was Sophie and Fitz's hospitalization taking up about half of the book. That was so boring and I was practically dragging myself through it. I thought for sure when that part was over I would start to enjoy the book but I was wrong, it still felt like a chore to read this up until about the 90% mark. The story was lacking in action-packed scenes I'd expect from this series by now. It also doesn't help that the chapters are longer than usual, or the chapter breaks are more spread out this time around.
I'm worried about reading the rest of the series now, as I've already purchased a copy of Legacy. I'd previously heard somewhere that this series declines in quality sometime around Nightfall and I'm beginning to see this as true. I'm still going to continue on in hopes of Legacy not having as much filler (also because I already bought it like I'm not gonna waste a good three dollars).
