![]() ![]() I really appreciated Messenger’s way of making sure we see all these different relationships in Sophie’s life (whether it’s in a positive or negative way). By Andrew Peterson, Joe Sutphin (illustrator). And don’t even get me started on the romance, which is technically non-existent unless you read between the many lines (up until a certain point, that is) and because Sophie always ends up concluding she has other things that take priority. 10 books like Keeper of the Lost Cities On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness. The same thing happens with her friendships, where some of them start off on the wrong foot and wind up being some of the most loyal friends she’ll ever have or when she can’t prevent her friends from making decisions that she doesn’t like or acting impulsively. ![]() I loved the fact that Messenger didn’t make it easy for Sophie our girl struggles with finding her place, as well as the usual butting of heads when it comes to the family who love her and want her safe, no matter what that takes away from her. Family is such a big part of Sophie’s story, particularly when she’s forced to leave behind her human family, ends up slowly getting integrated into a new elven one and still has no clue who her actual parents are. Relationships – I’m not just talking about romance (though we’ll get to that in a moment) I’m also talking about friendships and families. ![]()
