May 22, 2019 Ashley Shvetsova rated it it was amazing

Holy moly! That was great! My only complaint is that the ending came too soon and was a cliff hanger! I have so many ideas of where this is going and who is who. I can’t wait to read the next one. The characters were so perfectly written. I immediately picked a man, Lucian. I loved the tension between them right away even if to start with it was in my head. My only disappointment is the lack of action between them but that can be easily remedied. Mind you I do love the dynamic that is holding th ...more

Oh my bleeding heart! I have no idea who to trust! My mind is a puddle and trying to figure it all out is futile!

The Keepers is a new take on our typical fantasy heroine, following the story of a flawed but relatable young woman as she finds herself in the midst of a war where she is the only who See's what's coming. Anne beautifully weaves together the suspense and vivid world-building fantasy readers love, along with the deliciously angst ridden romance that keeps you turning the pages. ...more

After reading The Dreamer, I was excited for this book as it was just the start of something incredible. And boy, Meg Anne really gave us a treat with this one. I couldn’t fault it at all, she did an amazing job at writing it, the plot was incredible as was the characters. Back in The Dreamer, you can’t help but want Kieran and Effie to end up together, you see different sides of things, but at the same time your heart kind of melts for him. So when he does finally lay eyes on Effie it’s a shock After reading The Dreamer, I was excited for this book as it was just the start of something incredible. And boy, Meg Anne really gave us a treat with this one. I couldn’t fault it at all, she did an amazing job at writing it, the plot was incredible as was the characters. Back in The Dreamer, you can’t help but want Kieran and Effie to end up together, you see different sides of things, but at the same time your heart kind of melts for him. So when he does finally lay eyes on Effie it’s a shock to him, but in a way it’s heart-breaking because he reminds her so much of Darrin. However, with this book my opinions of everything change completely and that’s all thanks to Meg, she really knows how to mess with your thoughts and emotions. Everything has been carefully well thought out and you can’t help but just want more from her. You can see that she has a connection with the characters and it’s great when an author can show their connection to them through their writing. I’m so excited for the next book, I hope it’s just as incredible as this one, I love Meg’s work and I’m hoping things plan out the way I want them too. I would give away what I want to happen, but honestly it’ll be more fun you finding out for yourself.

Effie is on a mission to figure out her new found powers (her visions), but also to do what she can to help out Helena and the others. She’s had to walk away from everything she’s come to know and love, and keep all the hurt and grief at bay. However, no one said that life was going to be easy for her. In her entire life unless she was with her grandmother (Miranda) or in the hands of Helena) she was looked down upon, pushed to the side because in everyone else’s eyes she was nothing, but now with her new found powers she’s got to learn the meaning of each and every vision she has. But that’s proven to be difficult when she is taken to the Keepers home, where she meets Lucian and Kieran….. She is doing everything to stay on top of her mission but to also make sure that she is taken seriously, she’s been hurt in the past but for some reason her life isn’t about to get any more easier. I feel for her, I really do. She’s such a sweet character and you can’t help but want things to go right for her. When her visions start happening more often than she’s used too, will she be able to decipher the hidden meaning between them or is she going to be too late to help save Helena, her friends and everyone else in the worlds? ...more

*Commence keyboard mashing in 3, 2, 1...*

I WILL SPARE YOU THE KEYBOARD MASHING AND ATTEMPT TO FORM COHERENT THOUGHTS.

After reading The Dreamer I knew I was going to love this, and I was right. But going into it with that knowledge made me Kieran biased and I think it's a good thing because after what he does here there's no way I'd forgive him.

In the beginning I thought "awww, his pining is so cute" but then it becomes really twisted and justifies me liking Lucian better (at least for now).

Carla's Five Star Review

First off, let me tell you how excited I am to be reading more about the characters I fell in love with while reading Meg Anne's Chosen series! This is Effie's journey of becoming the newest initiate of the Keepers of Prophecy-a secret order that sees what the future holds. I just love Effie! She is as fierce as she is determined! I love how she interacts with The Triumvirate, her tutor, Kieran, and her guardians-especially Lucian.

Oh wow...loved this book! This is an exciting and intriguing read that had me interested all the way through! Effie is a different, realistic and relatable character. She is going through some tough times and her reactions are spot on! I love how she acts with The Triumvirate and I want to learn more about the three of them and how they act differently with Effie..her nicknames are great for them all!!

I’ve not read other books set in the Chosen universe used by Meg Anne in her The Keeper's Legacy: A Chosen Novel (The Keepers Book 1). Luckily this doesn’t matter (at least as far as I can tell) as this novel works beautifully on a standalone basis as the first book in its own adult fantasy romance trilogy. Effie is a great leading character, strong but flawed and learning and growing during the course of the novel’s pages. Great stuff indeed. But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this r ...more

Effie has so much sassy in her little body but you can't let her size fool you. She will no longer be pushed around and ran over no matter anyone's size or title.

I voluntarily reviewed an early copy of this book :) oh what a phenomenal start to a new series this was... full of surprising twists, phenomenal writing style, with my favourite type of heroine as the main character :) as in strong but flawed... I just love when a character is flawed and make mistakes, but is written in a way that doesn't annoy you... and Effie is just that... :) but before I get into all the praises, let me explain some things to you... because this is the first full lenght st I voluntarily reviewed an early copy of this book :) oh what a phenomenal start to a new series this was... full of surprising twists, phenomenal writing style, with my favourite type of heroine as the main character :) as in strong but flawed... I just love when a character is flawed and make mistakes, but is written in a way that doesn't annoy you... and Effie is just that... :) but before I get into all the praises, let me explain some things to you... because this is the first full lenght story in a companion / spin-off series of one of Meg Anne's other series and... well, let me just start at the beginning ;)

First, there was The chosen series... a fantasy gem filled with interesting and entertaining characters... four books that told a bigger story arch about Helena, and how she found her own powers and defeated her big enemy... and I am not using names, because it's not obvious who that enemy is from the start :) it was a fantastic series set in a made up world with gifted people and magical creatures and I loved it :) now we have a spin-off / companion series to it, called The keepers :) I highly recommend you to read the original series before starting this one because of at least two big reasons :) reason #1: you will get a better understanding of the world and a better background about Effie, since she was a secondary character in it... reason #2: if you skip it, you will be spoiled about some pretty big things... because a lot of this first book is happening at the same time as the finale of the previous series... so, the choice is yours, but I would go and read them in order :) now that we have this little explanation out of the way, let me jump into all my thoughts and feelings about this book and I will try to make it as spoiler free as I can ;)

As I mentioned before, our heroine of the story is Effie... I adored her in the original series, so when I found out she will get a series of her own, I was beyond happy... especially after everything that happened to her... and trust me, I cannot say anything else without spoiling some things that made me gasp in surprise while I was reading the previous series so hard, I almost hyperventilated... #TrueStory ;) after all that and then some... because apparently it wasn't enough, Effie discoveres she can See the future... and that means that if she wants to learn how to interpret and understand them without hurting herself every time, she must leave her friends and life as she knows it, and go with The Keepers, who can teach her all she needs to know... :) what I love the most about her, is how much I can relate to her... she makes mistakes and is a flawed character, but not in a way that is so annoying I want to reach out inside the book and shake some sense into her ;) instead I cheer her on, as she discovers who exactly she is and what she's capable of... oh, how I adore these types of stories, where a heroine sees how strong and resilient she actually is... when she sees how much she can survive... *sighs happily* it really warms my heart :) but she's not the only entertaining part of this story... oh no, it's actually filled with quite a few more very interesting characters, but I will focus my attention on two guys... ;) first, we have Kieran... we actually met him in a prequel novella ("The dreamer", part of Of thrones and crowns anthology) so some of you have some previous knowledge about him... but don't worry, it's not necessary to read to enjoy this book, although again... I would recommend it because it gives you a great insight into him as a character, and then certain scenes in this book will have that much more meaning... :) he's another Keeper, who has dreams instead of visions... and he has been dreaming about Effie for years... yeah... to say that he's happy to finally meet her would be an understatement... but his feelings are not as easily reciprocated... then we have Lucian... one of the immortal Guardians, he's a powerful warrior who doesn't speak much, but that did not stand in my way of absolutely falling for him :) from the two, he's my favourite, but I can't get into too many details why... you're just gonna have to wait for my review of the second installment where I will have a bigger discussion about the events from this book :) in the meantime, let me tell you something else before I wrap this up :) Meg Anne just becomes better and better with her writing style... I loved The chosen series, but if things go as I'm thinking they might go from my enjoyment of just this very first book, the whole series might skip the original one in my mind as the better one :) and after THAT ending... *sighs in frustration* let's just say that I am really looking forward to the sequel... ;) I highly recommend you guys this gem... it's filled with entertaining writing style, a ton of surprising twists and turns, and quite a few teasers about some future events, that I canot wait to see how will unfold... we have a kickass heroine in the main role with some very interesting secondary characters... just... go read all of the books set in this amazing world :) you will not regret it... just make sure you have enough time, cause they are all totally addictive ;)

I don't know what to rate this book as. I have mixed feelings about Effie. She is definitely a spoiled brat (which she is always denying). I really had a problem with the way she spoke with Kieran. The things she says are just cruel (especially in the beginning when we hardly know him) and she seems to always resort to slapping him. Now Kieran is a little selfish snake/creep (I like to give people the benefit of the doubt) and you could argue he's getting what's coming to him (especially at the ...more

Just a little more information that I missed when I read part 2. The nice thing about reading this part was that I had more information and knew where it was going to lead.

Effie is not a strong willed character or even a strong character. She just acted like a petulant child the whole time. A spoilt “whoa is me” child that didn’t like being told what to do by superiors that are charged with her safety. Instead she likes to be an absolute mole and give attitude at every conversation. It was actually exhausting reading all her conversations because it wasn’t anything normal - it was just her being a bitch with an attitude. Other than her the book and story would ...more

But coming down off the 4 book high of the chosen series it was difficult to fall back into a time when Rowena was still alive. It also made it hard to understand Effie's feelings of urgency.
