Average rating4
Twelve-year-old Sophie Foster has never quite fit into her life. She’s skipped multiple grades and doesn’t really connect with the older kids at school, but she’s not comfortable with her family, either. The reason? Sophie’s a Telepath, someone who can read minds. No one knows her secret—at least, that’s what she thinks…
But the day Sophie meets Fitz, a mysterious (and adorable) boy, she learns she’s not alone. He’s a Telepath too, and it turns out the reason she has never felt at home is that, well…she isn’t. Fitz opens Sophie’s eyes to a shocking truth, and she is forced to leave behind her family for a new life in a place that is vastly different from what she has ever known.
This stunning graphic novel retelling of the first half of the thrilling first novel comes to life with all the adventure and epic worldbuilding the Keeper of the Lost Cities series is known for.

The issues I have with this might be inevitable, but I'm hopeful for where this is going.
The pacing is lightning fast, jumping from segment to segment with almost no room to breathe. For readers already familiar with the story, this probably isn't as much of an issue, but it's my first time and I barely had time to process what was happening before the next big thing. There was also a lot of world building and info dumping, which is inevitable for the start of a series like this one. But therein lies the hope, because once we finish explaining how the world works, we finally get the story.
Sophie is a good person and remarkably talented at most everything she does, and that's pretty boring right now. I hope to see her face situations that make her more interesting in the future.
The story is very good. It pretty much follows the exact same storyline as the first part of book 1, in the regular KOTLC books. Its cool to be able to see the characters and their world while being like, “so that's how that looked”, and “Oh, that makes sense now.”
My main dislike is the art style. While the artist does a great job, she does not quite match the feel of keepers. I think that a different artist could have maybe matched better. (That is my opinion though)
Overall, I am very happy with it and look forward to more!
