Talk:Book 8: Legacy/@comment-82.207.239.78-20191217150343

Here is a response to the a comment I saw on the theories-for-book-9 page and I wanted to post it here :D

I agree that Sophie should hang out more with her female friends, but she definently isn't weak or in distress. She was so upset at all the matchmaking things because she was in an unhealthy relationship, which she got out of by standing up to Fitz saying that ultimately it was her choice. She does spend a lot of time with Keefe but that's because he really understands her and we have seen that relationship build and develop over eight books. It's really one of the purest relationships in the series. Keefe does help Sophie through stressful situations and lets her cry on his shoulder but that doesn't make her a damsel in distress because she does the same for Keefe. They respect each other and although sometimes they get into arguments (They're both just so stubborn) they talk it out and are honest with each other. I would still love to see Shannon develop Sophie's relationship with her female friends and Sophie's matchmaking crisis was annoying, but she realized that that wasn't as important and that Fitz was pressuring her too much. She also said that she felt bad for not hanging out with Maruca, Marella and Linh more, so it might change in the next book. As for every male her age having a crush on Sophie, that's not completely true either. There is only Dex, who doesn't like her that way anymore and the love triangle. Tam and Jensi have never shown romantic feelings for Sophie.

Another point: At the end of Legacy, Sophie wasn't thinking as much about her other friends and kept worrying about Keefe. She actually stated mutliple times about how she felt bad for forgetting about them. But she just saw Keefe almost get killed and found herself in a really stressful situation. If it was anyone else, she would've acted the same.

Last point: Sure, there is a lot of Keefe in the books. But he is basically the second main character. He goes through probably the most development out of all the characters and he is deeply connected to the plot with his mysterious Legacy. The story could techinaclly also follow his point of view, since he is so important to the story.
