Talk:Keefe and Sophie/@comment-37710267-20181212084428/@comment-37719459-20181213125420

This is a LONG story. So apparently, my older sister was in the library when she saw a pretty book cover. That book happened to be KOTLC! She read them, and loved them (this was back when there were only four) and told me about them. She said, so there's a book about this girl and she can read people's minds, and she's actually an elf, and people are trying to kill her. Also there's this amazingly akward love triangle. Wanna read it? I said, "No, probably not." She said, "Well, if you're not going to read it, can I rant to you about the end of the last book?" And then goes on about how there was this awesome character named "keith" or something, and that he was the best character in the series, and how he tells awesome jokes, but he doesn't have a great life and uses jokes to cover that, and he likes the main character and she kinda likes him back, and they would be super cute together, way cuter than this other ship where the person she likes is completely perfect and it's really boring. At this point I was like, "Huh.  That sounds interesting.  I should read it." (I thought that but didn't say it.)  So then she was like, "But then Keith (or something) went and joined the evil group and betrayed everyone, and also this guy who's super important but has been asleep the whole book just woke up.  And now I have to wait a year for the next one to come out!"

At this point, I had decided to read it. As soon as I met Keefe, I shipped Keefoster. (But then again I was kinda biased because of my sister but still.)  I knew I had found my favorite character. He was so easygoing, relaxed, and funny, but to hide the worse parts of his life so that others wouldn't have to bear it. But... one thing haunted me. He was a double agent this whole time? He was just that good at going undercover, that he made everything about himself up? Finally I managed to convince myself that that didn't happen (I was in Everblaze). But then, I randomly read the back jacket of Lodestar. It said, "If the Lodestar Initiative was the Neverseen's version of Project Moonlark, did that mean Keefe was meant to be her nemesis?"

I thought, "Oh no!!!!!!  So it did happen?!" I read the rest of the series and figured out what REALLY happened. But my experience with Keefe has (sadly) been haunted by betrayal.
