In two days, we get to read this book, written by the masterful Shannon Messenger. And I say masterful because she has tied our hearts to this series, so we may never leave or move on until this miraculous story is done.
I’m for sure rereading the series when it’s over (and when I finish 9.5 lol) I’ve been reading KotLC since I was in 3rd grade so I’ve been reading it for a looooong time. (I’m a teenager now) lol
Hey so a few videos ago you were talking about how you thought that quinlan I'm sorry I didn't spell that right but You said that he was Sophie's father But if you look at the graphic novel He is dark colored I mean she could be lighter because of her He is dark colored I mean she could be lighter because of her mom but I don't know Goody though!!
@@KeefeisAwesome yep! One person pointed that out a few vids back (different comment than the one u read). As you say, she could have just taken after Oralie, but…if you look at Wylie, his color was a mix between HIS parents. So this significantly lowers the possibility that he could be Sophie’s bio dad. Another question I ask myself is that Forkle said that Sophie’s bio parents could cause the world crashing down. Just…how could Quintin? From what I’ve read, he’s not a very important politician or anything. Certainly not vital to the Lost Cities.
The book is out and I have read it. It took me three hours. I went to the signing in Seattle. I have been running on caffeine for the past 48 hours. I met people from Florida. My goals have been accomplished. I can now die peacefully, scratch that. I NEED BOOK TEN
You know what I dont really check up on KOTLC that much anymore it was more of a middle school thing for me but when a new book comes out you can bet i’ll read it and its nice to come back to your guys page and connect over the fandom again everytime theirs a new release so thank you
I’m in tenth grade and I love this series so much so I understand. But I honestly think teens can grasp the depth of the story better than middle schoolers since they don’t understand dating as well or immense pain or sadness. And overall it’s just a great series!
Hey guys! I was a huge fan of your channel when Unlocked had just come out! Part of the Discord and everything. That community really helped me during covid. With all the hype for the new book I saw your video recommended. I’m glad to see y’all and that you still love kotlc. Thanks for the community you’ve created
I have a theory! I think Elysian is an elf who has the ability to PERMANENTLY REMOVE the abilities from any elf (hence why Sophia and her friend’s abilities numbed around her). The ancient councilors built her her own prison after learning what her ability was and made her a forgotten secret.
Maybe! I personally don’t see how that would complement the series, however. But it’s entirely possible. One of my theories is that either Elysian has ALL the abilities, as she is shown to be able to vanish and numb people. Another is that, perhaps, she and Keefe have the same ability? Numbing people is one of Keefe’s (not quite the same, however). Keefe might have activated Bex and Lex’s abilities. Could he take them away? As for the last question, since it hasn’t been answered, I wonder if Shannon will address it in 9.5, becase we have a lot of free time with Keefe to fill.
best theory i thought of is: what if he finds out alden is evil (and doesn't want to tell anyone) i have no reason as to why he would find that out i'm just 100% sure alden is evil and i want it to be canon asap edit: 'the kingdom of lumenaria'???? WHAT THE HECK LUMENARIA IS NOT A KINGDOM IT'S A BUILDING AND IT'S NOT WHERE SHE GOES TO SCHOOL! AND IT'S NOT MAGIC
My theory for 9.5 So buckle up cuz this might be long: The person in the figure in the cloak is probably Ruy or Ingus (or any neverseen member) and they spend time with Keefe (supposedly watching him) while in reality he is a double agent for the neverseen who helps keefe and tells him information that changes the game. He tells Sophie that a lot more went on but he couldn’t share it. One of the pieces of information I think Keefe found out about is that Alden is evil, my proof for that is that when Keefe went to the Vackers home he hugged Della and he saw fitz and Biana but he AVOIDED Alden and he acted very mad at Alden and more snappy then he usually would twords his “fatherly figure” he could’ve been still annoyed at him for telling him to stop crushing on Sophie and to let fitz have her, but he NEVER talked to Alden in the whole time he was back! Thanks for reading I know it was kinda long
I wanted to share a funny story involving kotlc. So my parents and I were in NYC a couple of days ago, and in Grand Central Station there was a craft fair. Anyways, I'm wondering through the fair, and stop by a glassmaking stand. I'm debating whether or not to buy a little figurine, and I suddenly a little figurine of a BLACK SWAN. So I'm like "I need to buy this immediately" So one purchase later, and I have a little black swan figurine. One of the best parts? The swan is in the EXACT same position as the Black Swan's symbol. Sorry for the long comment. Also, one of my theories/ something I'm randomly hoping to see is Keefe accidentally leaping into a renaissance faire, and he's wearing elvin clothes, and all thr people around him are like "Cool costume!" And he's just like "...Thanks...I guess?"
I think Gisela wanted Keefe to flee to the forbidden cities. The abilities she gave him just don’t add up. for instance, his ability to manipulate emotions - basically controlling people - is super powerful and something never seen before. So is being able to sense - Or possibly even manifest - abilities. So she basically gave him two super powerful, never seen before abilities. But he also became a polyglot. I think this ability isn’t talked about enough, as it’s already an ability and not very useful in many situations. We still haven’t seen any motive for Gisela making him a polyglot. Gisela is a polyglot herself, so why would she need Keefe to be one too? Any plans involving this ability don’t need to involve Keefe, seeing as she already has the ability. This makes me think she wanted him in the forbidden cities. If he wasn’t a polyglot, it would be almost impossible for him to survive in the human world. He obviously figured out a lot of things during his time there, seeing as we’re getting a whole book on it, and the fact that he could talk again when we see him in Stellarlune. Maybe Gisela needed him to figure these things out as a part of her plan.
LORD HUNKIHAIR!!!! IM SO EXCITED LIKE OMGGGGGGG I READ THIS AND LOTS OF COMENTS AND PERSONALY I DONT THINK ALDEN COULD BE EVIL AS HE WOULD DO ALMOST ANYTHING IN HIS POWER FOR SOPHIE EVEN BE REMOVED AS EMMESAERY ❤
Hey so I saw on 1 of your videos That someone had a Keefe Pillow And I have my friend for a gift exchange and she's obsessed with him I am too but I wanted to get her that and I can't find it anywhere so if anyone knows!! Plz telll!!!!!
I'm not sure about anything based on this excerpt, but I've been theorizing after Stellarlune a lot. Here are some of my theories: I think, or I at least want, Elysian to be human. Because in EVERY SINGLE BOOK the elves say "the human's stuff is sooo bad", or they did something wrong that caused them to be separated. But what was it? And what did the elves try so hard to forget, forever? Maybe the humans weren't as bad as the elves make them out to be. What if there was a human (Elysian?) who could challenge the powers of an elf? Maybe that's why Elysian is a "power source". She could've had powers none of the elves could match because... she's not an elf. Maybe she even found some way to survive all those hundreds of years and was the base of the conflict with the humans. Also, there wouldn't be a whole book about humanland if the humans weren't that significant. Clearly there's things to learn about the human world that need to be touched. on, and I assume (or at least hope) they will be game-changing. And about Keefe's powers? Maybe Lady Gisela is giving Keefe the abilities that were forgotten about so long ago. To have a chance against Elysian. And he could realize in the human world that he has a base in it - people that recognize him, his abilities, and the human and elf societies start to come together and realize that they are connected in ways they never would have expected, because of Elysian, Keefe, and maybe others that start to unravel the world (like 9.5's name). (Sorry if that was really long)
I’m SO excited 😊 Thank you guys for the video!!! I really think it’s going to be a great book!!! Keefe’s perspective is so funny already. I kinda feel bad for him though cause he’s going through so much. and I wish he wouldn’t isolate himself from Sophie.
Hey KOTLC Fanbase, I haven't watched loads of your vids before- but a questions is... who do you ship- Team Foster-keefe/ sokeefe 🥰OR fitzphie 🤮??? REPLY PLS I NEED TO KNOW!
I'm sorry middle grade series? I get it really I do... BUT I STARTED READING THIS SERIES WHEN ONLY THE FIRST BOOK WAS OUT!!! I'M 20 NOW AND SHANNON... I SWEaR I NEED THIS NEXT BOOK ALREADY YOUR OG FANS ARE TOO OLD FOR THIS!!!!
Soon as I heard the word excerpt I clicked so fast. I dropped my phone. However, I don’t know where the boy is. There could be lots of snow capped mountains near London, even though I’ve never been to London before. Anyways me, can’t wait to read it.💚💛🩵📚📚📚📖🔖❤
The fact that Keefe couldn't even get ONE PAGE IN before gushing about how amazing Sophie is 😭 he's so precious.
IKR hahaha we love Keefe for that!
Ikrrr this is why sokeefe is end game
ahhh I saw this and i clicked faster then alden said "no reason to worry"
Frrrrr
That’s so real ❤
SAME
No, I’m not even kidding an hour ago. I was asleep and I am so mad. I didn’t see it before now.
Real
I love that you take the time, KotLC Fanbase, to answer each comment. It is a rare channel that addresses their own viewers, though many do try.
aww we love doing so! it gives us a chance to connect with y'all and build a community :)
My first reaction reading the title and seeing the front picture “SCREAMS” AHHH OMG YESSSSSSSS
this whole book is going to be keefe being in love with sophie and i'm here for it
SOOOO here for it :)

For real, I just don’t want the series to end. It’s a conflicted feeling like I want to see what happens in the end but I also don’t want to be over.
THE HYPE IS REALLLLL

It's awesome to see you back here! We appreciate you so much! no problem

Also, there are people who had Unraveled early, soo be careful if you go on the Kotlc subreddit T-T i had so many spoilers I accidentally clicked on
best theory i thought of is: what if he finds out alden is evil (and doesn't want to tell anyone)
i have no reason as to why he would find that out i'm just 100% sure alden is evil and i want it to be canon asap
edit: 'the kingdom of lumenaria'???? WHAT THE HECK LUMENARIA IS NOT A KINGDOM IT'S A BUILDING AND IT'S NOT WHERE SHE GOES TO SCHOOL! AND IT'S NOT MAGIC
Hah I noticed all that too! Clearly the write never read the book
When I saw this I was so excited I screamed. I can’t believe unraveled is so close
My theory for 9.5
So buckle up cuz this might be long:
The person in the figure in the cloak is probably Ruy or Ingus (or any neverseen member) and they spend time with Keefe (supposedly watching him) while in reality he is a double agent for the neverseen who helps keefe and tells him information that changes the game. He tells Sophie that a lot more went on but he couldn’t share it. One of the pieces of information I think Keefe found out about is that Alden is evil, my proof for that is that when Keefe went to the Vackers home he hugged Della and he saw fitz and Biana but he AVOIDED Alden and he acted very mad at Alden and more snappy then he usually would twords his “fatherly figure” he could’ve been still annoyed at him for telling him to stop crushing on Sophie and to let fitz have her, but he NEVER talked to Alden in the whole time he was back!
Thanks for reading I know it was kinda long
Woah dude 🤯
who is ingus though? ruy's last name is ignis if that's what you were thinking?
@@kotlcbobacat yeah lol I meant to put them together and say or Trix
@@Weirdo4evaORsomeone lol makes sense. good theory :D
2 more days until Unraveled is released im so excited!!
2 days WOAH
IKR! O still need to preorder…BUT IF I DO NOT GET THE BOOK THE DAY IT COMES OUT IM RUNNING BAREFOOT TO BARNES AND NOBLE
