I don't agree with Sokeefe being a toxic relationship. Yes, Keefe's "betrayed her," but every time she forgives him, their relationship is only stronger. If anyone is hurting Sophie, it's Fitz by blaming her for Alvar and then being selfish about the unmatchable thing-- and that doesn't mean I don't like Fitz! I do! I just STRONGLY disagree that Sokeefe is "toxic," because it's actually the kind of forgiveness and chemistry that an ideal relationship would be (considering the circumstances).

Okay... I agree about the book structure. It's the same every time, but the ideas are new. This COULD bother some people and get boring at times, but it's just the easiest way for Shannon to write with her crazy busy schedule. Also, this is a kids series. The grammar isn't supposed to be mega-intelligent. Also, in writing, even with YA, authors are advised NOT to use super difficult words because it makes them sound stupid even when they're trying to sound smart.

The secret thing... not all of the secrets are life-changing, but the "It's me" thing I think WAS, in fact, planned, for the Sophitz shippers. I feel like this was supposed to be a super-sweet thing between Sophie and Fitz that Sophitz shippers could fawn over. Me, being a Sokeefe shipper, DIDN'T fawn over this, but it was something I could see being considered sweet, and I think it was planned.

The love triangle: I'm actually on the opposite side of that. In the beginning, I feel like Sophitz was planned to be the endgame, but as Sokeefe developed, it became an option.

All in all, I don't blame you for losing interest. I do that all the time. You do you. But I think some of these things Messenger writes has been misinterpreted.
