Carrlene Ray’s comments from the KOTLC group.

@Luna great thoughts! I totally agree. And at this point I sort of feel like SoKeefe is destined to happen, and to be honest I wouldn’t hate that. I ship Fitzphie, but I’m pulling for SoKeefe to become cannon if that makes any sense. Both are really cute, and both have their flaws, and I’m really interested to see how this all will turn out

If you’re on a computer or going through the browser version of Goodreads, there should be a tab that you can click that lists the members of the group. If you find her in there then you can PM her or send her a friend request if that’s what you’re looking to do

This is off topic, but I wanted to share my opinion on the whole (much too short in my opinion) Fitzphie relationship: honestly, everyone views Fitz as the bad guy in their relationship, and sure, he handled some matters less than perfectly, but you can’t expect perfection from anyone, even Fitz. Honestly though, Sophie wasn’t the greatest girlfriend either. Step back and look at it from Fitz’s POV: Sophie hid from him for like a week after they finally got together, and when he finally got to see her, she was hanging out with another guy. Then, she ignores him some more, promises to hail him, never does, then ignores his hails 3 times and runs off to another boy’s house with presents. On top of all that, she is keeping a big secret about her biological parents, and that definitely does effect the both of them if they want to be forever. Should he have handled the whole unmatchable thing a little more respectfully? Well, yes, but once again you have to see where Fitz is coming from. He comes from a long line of some of the most well-renounced elves in history, and not ONE of his relatives has ever been a bad match. Bad matches face a ton of scorn, and after everything about his reputation that he’s already compromised to be around Sophie and her friends, there’s only so much more he can take. And it isn’t just about him— it’s about his family name. He wasn’t making a selfish decision asking her to keep looking for her parents, because if he married a bad match, the entire Vacker family name would be looked down upon. The only person who would truly be happy in that situation is Sophie and her biological parents. For everyone else it’s either a neutral or negative effect. Is that worth causing Sophie and her biological parents stress? Not necessarily, but that’s up to each person and how they want to look at the issue. Anyways, back to everything else: Sophie was ignoring him a ton when they were dating, and sure, she had her own reasons for that, but still, that hurt Fitz who was trying his hardest just to be a good boyfriend and enjoy some time with his girlfriend. He even brought her gifts and heartfelt apologies with nothing in return. He didn’t even expect anything in return. All he really wanted was to spend a little time with Sophie, and the only time he ever really got with her was if they accidentally ran into each other, if she was about to almost-die, or if Fitz showed up at her house. But, all things considered, Sophie had a TON of stuff going on, and not much time for boys. For that reason, their relationship was strained and cut short and not given its best shot. I feel like if they had a lot less of the other stuff going on, and another shot, the relationship could work out really well. But with all the stuff they were dealing with, it was headed to disaster from the beginning. I hope we get to see them learn their lessons and try again, because I think all things considered they could be really good for each other.

Well, there was my super long rant :p this is just my personal opinion, I hope it doesn’t offend anyone. You are more than welcome to disagree with me :)

It should literally be illegal. YOU CANT PLAY WITH MY HEART LIKE THAT HUNKYHAIR

WAIT IS THAT WHAT HE WAS ABOUT TO SAY!? I will M E L T

OH MY GOODNESS NO ACTUAL WAY

I’m reading Unlocked and Keefe’s journal entry just made MY HEART STOP!

“I think I’d better take a break before I write something REALLY embarrassing like how I’m pretty sure I’m—

“Ha!

“I’m reckless, but I’m not THAT reckless!”

WAS HE GOING TO SAY HE WAS IN LOVE WITH SOPHIE!? That seems like a pretty logical ending to that sentence.

You deserve a round of applause!!! Yes! I never thought of that, but that could very well happen. Keefe is going to be such a hard character to act, and I think he’ll be really hit-or-miss. The director could definitely mess him up too. Ah! I’m scared. Hopefully it’ll turn out okay.

That’s a good idea, but he looks a little young and doesn’t have “the hair” in my opinion

OH MY GOODNESS I LOVE THAT heck yes. Fitz deserves that kind of respect and recognition. THANK YOU! Oh THANK YOU

Yessss that is an underrated ship imo

Just in general. But I am curious to know, who do you prefer between SoFitz and SoKeefe?

@Clementine who do you ship? I forget if you’ve mentioned it or not

I’d love to hear everyone’s opinions on why they do/do not like Fitzphie. I’m working on writing up mine myself, but I’m curious to see everyone’s thoughts and reasons behind liking it or disliking it

What are y’all’s thoughts on Keefe and Fitz? I feel like those are the most controversial

There is, but I’m not sure how. I’ve been trying to figure it out for a while now

Awesome!

I thought this might be better off as it’s own topic, feel free to delete if you think otherwise :)

Please do that, I would love you forever

I have been putting a lot of thought into this, so here’s my opinion on Gethen:

Reasons I don’t think it’s Gethen:

- I doubt that Mr. Forkle would try to keep that such a secret, since he doesn’t really have a reason to protect Gethen
- there’s the whole “my parents don’t have the same abilities as me” thing, and if that’s true, that rules him out. HOWEVER if not, it could make more sense because her enhancing is stronger on Empaths and Telepaths. The reason it’s stronger on Empaths is because of Oralie, so that could mean her father is responsible for it being stronger on Telepaths

Reasons it could be Gethen:

- Somewhat plot twisty
- Telepath
- Connection to the Black Swan technically

I literally can’t believe this this is just so surreal
