(Hope I'm not too late)

I love Keeper of the Lost Cities for many reasons, but the two main ones are intircate plots and real characters.

Intricate plots: Whenever there's a big plot twist, I'm completely surprised, but also confused as to how I didn't put together the clues she subtly left behind.

Real characters: With many books, I'm annoyed by how characters seem invincible. Here, Shannon Messenger manages to not kill off favorite characters, but characters seem authentic, vulnerable, and relateable.
