Talk:Keefe and Sophie/@comment-2601:602:8000:B4A0:B98A:CBE7:1FA7:54F2-20200104220711

Rant time: This book was honestly a let-down. The characters were a lot off. Like Dex, who was acting too much like Keefe during the Team Valiant stuff. And I also hated how the adults are so juvenile and childish in this series. It feels like its promoting bullying: Right, and you guys weren't already looking at me like you'd rather work with a muskog," Stina countered. Dex flashed his most wicked grin. "A muskog would smell better." Grady coughed through another laugh - and Sandor's shoulders shook like he was holding in a fit of goblin giggles. So we're promoting bullying now? How else am I supposed to read this? Why are the adults laughing at such a stupid, juvenile joke? The books have set Stina up as a bully since the beginning, but it's highly concerning how the author seems to justify all the horrible things Sophie and her friends say in return with things like the adults laughing at jokes or no one pointing out that maybe they could try being the bigger people and be nice to Stina. I just felt bad for her in every scene she was in as Dex kept hurling insults her way "Why would you pick these losers for something so important?" "Uh, because these losers have taken on the Neverseen how many times now?" Dex snapped back. "And lost how many times?" Stina countered. "Oh, that's right - all of them." Stina is right of course...And that’s exactly what happens in the end of the book. Surprise! 🤯 I also didn’t like how humans are made fun of all the time.
