I loved this book! Like absolutely loved it! The characters are so easy to love and the plot is so well written! As a young advanced reader I’d say this might even be better than the hunger games themself! Keefe is such a loving character as well I love how Shannon makes his inside life sad but he covers it up with humor. Even though the rating says 8-12 I’d say there’s no need for a rating keeper of the lost cities is a book many people will cherish and I hope this review encourages you to read it! WARNING: START WITH THE FIRST BOOK! The plot twist at the end of the book had me hungry for more so I already ordered the rest of the series including book 9.5! Have a great day!
