I get what your trying to say, and I agree Sophie has gone through a lot, and has major anxiety issues, and anxiety is really hard to get over, I know, but for the sake of the story, I feel Shannon needs to pull her out of it just a bit. It's not that she has so many powers but still can't beat the neverseen that bothers me, it's that they've not made that much progess. I'm guessing there are only two or three books left to be written, including legacy, so I feel like if the figure everything out in those books, it will feel very fast and unatural. And about the story being too much romance--it's not that I mind all the romance, I just think the plot is suffering, and the lack of LGBTQ+ bugs me as well. Sophie's character is a loving, kind person, and like you said, at the end of the day, that's all that it comes down to, I just think that it'd be very encouraging for me to see her character get over a couple of flaws, and stop doubting herself. Because Sophie is a beautiful person, and she deserves to love herself. I'm not saying she should just entirely get over all her doubt, guilt, and anxiety, I'm just saying, she should maybe lower it a bit, and give her more self esteem. It would benefit the plot and character development, and make it a very hopeful and encouraging story, for those who notice it. I feel like if Sophie is going into these fights with the neverseen feeling she can't win, then she's doomed to fail. And I don't think anyone of us want that.
