I also think Lady Gisela is an amazing character. She is one of the best villains I have ever seen. I also agree with having the movie be a little bit different from the books. I want to see something new! Also, I hate Alden.

Maybe my opinions arent that unpopular 😂 thanks for the comment!!

She’s not a good character she is just very well written and brings a lot of plot twists to the story

[@Phoenix_the_Fangirl_13]

With the storehouse: sure, it was a bad decision, but I adore the scene. I love fire and main ccharacters making impulsive decisions and Sophie's character development. Besides, not every decision Sophie makes can be a smart one.

[@fantasy_fanbase]

I can agree with that, it was a great scene. I just hope it doesn’t backfire on them in Stellarlune!

Lady Gisela is an amazing villain. Honestly, I also think Dex is a bit overrated in the fandom but I do think he will get more page time in Stellarlune. This may not be an unpopular opinion now but my favorite Vacker is Biana.

[@fantasy_fanbase]

I agree with all of this! I love Biana too

[@lillian.louise]

Especially since Dex is in team valiant I can’t wait to see what the council does with them

[@itsalex999]

Favourite vacker?! She’s my favourite character.

[@thatfangirl9936]

I totally agree, Keefe does make a lot of bad decisions and is very reckless. But in his mind he thinks that every new idea that he has is a good one. Then it backfires. Rinse and repeat. Maybe thats another thing that he should work on, if he wants Sophie to trust him and all.

[@idiotic_baguette580]

One of my unpopular opinions is almost exactly what you said, some characters just don't need to be re-introduced. Their story lines have been finished and unless Shannon can introduce a new, super huge issue they're needed for, I see no reason to make them a big part again. I would much rather see things about Stina and Glimmer, than i would about who you said, Jensi, or Wylie. (i also just really want a Stina redemption ark lol)

[@oliviaaa02937]

Don’t like any of the vackers except for biana. I just don’t really like the family tbh Edit: sorry for having not including Della but she hasn’t really been helping since Neverseen. So I can’t really have a huge opinion on her except she was there and did what she needed to do.

[@fantasy_fanbase]

Biana is definitely the best Vacker!

[@lillian.louise]

They play favorites too much it’s unsettling Edit: it has come to my attention that I should include that Della is an exception because she’s amazing

[@sam_didur]

@@fantasy_fanbase ok but.. Della is amazing

[@emilysmith4213]

Yeah Della kicked Forkle’s butt in Neverseen when they were in the cave before they rode the Nessies. AND SHE DID IT IN HEELS

[@sam_didur]

@@emilysmith4213 exactlyyy and that time in Nightfall

[@fanofeverything255]

I actually agree with most of your opinions, especially the first three. (and I'm going to rant about the storehouse for a minute) that decision wasn't even hers, Glimmer talked her into it, she maybe even forced her, and I'm not saying anything bad about Glimmer, but we don't know anything about her, and for Sophie to let a stranger influence her decisions is kinda ridiculous. (Sorry if the grammer drives you crazy.)

[@kristinamarentic]

Everyone's talking about how sophie burning the storehouse was a huge mistake but glimmer really influenced her into it by bringing all her buried thoughts to the surface and making them seem like truth so I don't blame her

[@cookiemxnster2933]

Honestly I agree with Glimmer- And sophies decision its time she took a stand!

[@evebyul]

I'm early 😃 I totally agree for Lady Gisela. As a character.

[@fantasy_fanbase]

Glad to hear!!

[@catsrgreat6359]

Yes same!!!!

[@daisyaipom838]

I disagree about the Neverseen storehouse one, though I respect your opinion. I don’t think what Sophie did was necessarily rash, she could have spent more time thinking about it, but the point was that there was no time. In the book it said that she didn’t have time to consult the others about what to do or whether to burn the warehouse, and like you said, the Neverseen might be there any minute. The only rash thing was that, like Mr. Forkle pointed out, Sophie didn’t think about the fire spreading, maybe starting a forest fire, and since those flames would burn eternally a forest fire like that could be really dangerous. However, Sophie was in a really stressful situation, with both the clock ticking down to the Neverseen arriving and the pressure Glimmer was putting on her, so I can’t really blame her for not thinking everything through. Sure, destroying the warehouse didn’t gain anything for Sophie, but it definitely hurt the Neverseen. The Neverseen losing their warehouse and everything in it could turn the tide in the war. And it did gain something for Sophie in a way, since it sent a message to the Neverseen that she wasn’t going to stand by and let the Neverseen continue being evil, she was going to stop this here and now (Thor reference). She’s going straight for the punch and hitting the nail right on the head, she’s done looking around for the right tree and missing the arrow on the mark. And after years of the Neverseen’s victory after victory, trick after trick, I think it’s about time Sophie fought back, truly fought back. This is just my opinion though.

[@mariedeguevri8671]

Attention, text block to follow! Personally, I liked the scene in which Sophie burns the archetype. Not that I approve of her decision, but I liked it in the sense that Sophie's reaction was logical and realistic. In the middle of Kotlc's conflict, there is Sophie, the girl who is supposed to be perfect, who had to fix everything but who does not succeed, because despite her powers, she just can't face people who have planned their actions since years, and undergoes throughout the series this gap which always takes her to the gates of death, without forgetting that her friends are also injured, pushed into exile, almost to murder... We then come to what makes me love the warehouse scene. Sophie says in almost every volume that she is not perfect, she calls for help, she wants to be relieved, but everyone ignores her and always puts more weight on her shoulders because she is the "moonlark" (by the way, she was only created for this purpose, Forkle may seem to like her, he himself said that she was his "success", a successful creation, which adds a lot to the horror of Sophie's story). And in the end she cracks, she has this primitive reaction of a depressed and angry human who breaks and hits to express her unhappiness. This is what makes me love Kotlc, nothing is embellished, we are told clearly that the world and characters are bad, nothing is right, limits are blurred and everyone is constantly on edge. it creates immense tension, even horror, and it makes the characters very human.

[@Ragingballofchaos]

Ok so here are some of my opinions. I also really like how Gisela is written, like she's an amazing villain and was a really good plot twist. Sophie burning down the storehouse I have mixed opinions on. Like it's awesome that she's making a stand and showing the neverseen she's not afraid of them, but the execution, just no. She really shouldn't have burned down the storehouse.

[@emilysmith4213]

I agree with this so much! Lady Gisela is underrated and hated so much that her overall depth and character is lost

[@cookiemxnster2933]

Why not?

1. true 2. She shouldn't trust glimmer! 3. HE HAS! But he still needs to put Sophie high up there! 4. no. it has to be perfect! 5. I agree, maybe Wylie if she heals Prentice tho 6. I liked him in the first book but now i HATE him. Trying to make Keefe give up-its a no for me. 7. I was going to argue on that one but your right 8. Dex and Biana

[@PhoenixWings378]

I love Lady Gisellaaaaaa And I fully agree about the storehouse scene, it annoyed me a lot, especially with the fact that Sophie intentionally burnt the archetype. Like, I get what she was trying to do, but why would someone so obsessed with finding answers randomly decide to burn the book that holds literally all the answers????

[@afterreading-]

Did she burn the archetype??? I thought she took what she could carry (including lady Gisela's book) and burned the rest..

[@PhoenixWings378]

@@afterreading- Nope! The archetype was the first thing she burnt. If I remember correctly, she smashes one of the balefire torches with it, which sets the rest of the storehouse on fire.

[@afterreading-]

@@PhoenixWings378 . . . Yeah I don't understand why she did that..

[@annabanana0415]

I agreed with a lot of these even though they aren’t the most popular decisions they are very good points. My unpopular opinion is that I don’t read any of the chapters that she puts out for the next book, cause I love reading the whole book without knowing any pieces of it. Thanks!!

[@emreads1214]

These are my opinions on your opinions lol I so agree that lady Guisela is such a good character! Without her I doubt the series would have lasted so far because of all the things she has done I agree with Sophie burning down the warehouse was not a good call. I doubt the Neverseen would have noticed a small amount of stuff missing, and if Sophie didn’t burn it then they could have come back with more people to grab everything Keefe 100% has been making bad decisions. But in his case he isn’t trying to. He’s trying to protect the people around him, but he isn’t thinking that far into the future and how bad the situations could be I personally would like to have the movie as close as possible to the books. I grew up with the books and I’ve seen so many books to movie adaptations go terribly. As long as the plot is the same and the characters look as close as possible to the book characters as possible I AGREE WITH THE PAGE TIME! If a side character with little page time has a huge surprise then it just a huge plot twist that’s not that needed! I like Alden. He’s not amazing, he’s done some bad things like the thing with Keefe, but I don’t think he is terrible. He (like Keefe) has made bad decisions but I think he is a very kind person to Sophie and therefore he is okay. And I personally don’t think he is shady and doing something behind our knowable DEX IS NOT UNDERATED! Could he use more page time, but so could lihn and Biana and tam and even sandor. I love Dex so much, but he is not underrated. AND YES YES YES THERE NEEDS TO BE A SHIP!! I’m so excited for the next book, but I still can’t bring myself to read the chapters😭 I loved the video because I love hearing peoples unpopular opinions on the books!

[@fantasy_fanbase]

Thank you so much for the analysis! Great points there!! ❤️

[@afterreading-]

Totally agree with you on Alden and the Kotlc movie! And Dex not being totally underrated

[@HunkyhairOut]

Bruh hating Alden is NOT an unpopular opinion.

[@rasmichandran8239]

I think I have mixed opinions about the movie, I really do want the movie to have some new elements in it, but also not because I don’t want the movies to stray too far off of what happens. Because as the movie draws more people into the series,i just don’t want people to like the series based on what happens solely in the movie. I may have worked that a bit oddly.

[@HunkyhairOut]

Soooo basically don't make it the Percy Jackson movies lol

[@cookiemxnster2933]

I found Dex weird in the starting books- He was soo obsessed with sophie... I like him now tho.

[@CH-gh7bp]

I love your point on Keefe! I’m really concerned that Shannon is hiding the fact that he might be a villain or anti hero.

[@Isbah-Izzy-Lou]

I almost didn’t see the notification lol but yes I also hate alden and another opinion I have that seems to be unpopular is that project moonlark was cruel, unethical and I do not like the black swan

[@afterreading-]

I do not like the way that the Black Swan tried to play God and I understand what you're saying, although I think all of the project moonlark drama is interesting, and I want to see how it plays out. I'm a little like: it was a mistake but since that mistake was made let's hope for the best, and that it never happens again!

[@fantasy_fanbase]

I feel like the way they treated and still do treat Sophie is kinda unfair! Like maybe if she knew her mom was Oralie by the collective telling her, she would understand why she can’t tell anyone. Idk something about it is super manipulative

[@Isbah-Izzy-Lou]

@@fantasy_fanbase yup it really is manipulative because Sophie is a child who is dependent on them even if she was an adult she would be dependent on them because they have all the answers

At first, I really liked Alden. He took Sophie in and introduced her to the Lost Cities and I was really said when his mind broke in Exile. But then he told Keefe to back off Sophie.

You know, Shadow and fire, dark and bright cliche, can’t help myself. I agree with you Joey, Sophie shouldn’t have burned the Neverseen hideout, I was reading that and went SOPHIE NO THATS BAD IDEA I also agree with you, Keefe is making bad decisions, and should never have left Sophie ONCE. But I will say that he can probably make a good come back. I agree with you, the KotLC movie isn’t and can’t be perfect. People say Fitz and his family should have a bit darker skin, and I don’t think that it would be a bad change. (Actually make him a bit more cute tho😅) I have mentally prepared myself for the movie to NOT be perfect I also agree that the side characters like Jensi, Wylie, etc, don’t need more page time, that’s on point SOMEBODY FINALLY CALLED OUT ALDEN THANK GOD!🤣😭 Literally, ‘no reason to worry’ PLEASE ALDEN THERE IS A REASON TO WORRY Yes we need a ship to sail, I don’t care if it’s Dexian or Tamella, PLEASE SHANNON GIVE US ANYTHING, ANYTHIIIIIING😭😭😭 Joey, we are ALL excited for STELLARLUNE.

Fitz as a character is okay, but the boi has issues. ANGER ISSUES, TOXICITY ISSUES, NEED I GO ON???

[@northah]

@@emilysmith4213 I feel like lots of people hate Fitz and I have seen much discussions and things about Fitz so I partially understand what people who hate Fitz are getting at. Yes fitz was really mean in Exile, but look at it this way. He just learnt that his DAD died (practically), of course he would be upset and stuff! Imagine someone who you are really close to or look up to died, especially if one of your guardians died. That must’ve been really hard for him, but also in in the 1st book, when Sophie learnt that Grady and Edaline were unadopting her she was pretty mean to her friends, so think about what FITZ was going through. Studies (Science Direct) shows that people cope differently, as said. “There are many different conceptualizations of coping strategies, but the five general types of coping strategies are problem-focused coping, emotion-focused coping, social support, religious coping, and meaning making.” And it just seems that Fitz copes with anger, and I do also. Is it like I want to cope with anger and possibly ruin friendships? No of course not! It’s just the way that different people react, when my friend died what I did was I shut everyone out and was a huge asswhole to everyone, like a BIG one. I started blaming the things that happened on different people and me, did they do wrongs? No they didn’t, nothing could’ve stopped it, and that’s just the way that different people cope. It took a long time for me to get over it and sometimes anger still comes. And you may be thinking, why am I saying all of this? Well in your life there may be a close person, or maybe you, who may do the same things that Fitz did, and during those times people need support, like a lot. And if you just shut them out and tell them there super mean, that may make the situation worse. Cause I find that Shannon did a good job with portraying coping and the odds of someone coping with anger are not low. Does it make it right? No, but that’s how people cope with it. Fitz let Sophie throw Alvar’s Foxfire prize thing down the stairs of watchward heath, he went to go get Ella when Sophie forgot her, he went with her to the battle of Mount Everest. Sometimes Keefe isn’t that nice to people like when he yelled at Sophie once and he ran away two times. But that’s just the thing, everyone in life experiences emotions, you shouldn’t expect everyone to be all goody two shoes and skipping around the whole city saying hi to everyone who passes. I am sorry if anything came off as rude.

I agree with all of these! I didn't not like Alden at first but now I realize how sus he is. I also really like Lady Gisela. I read Legacy for the second time and she jump scared me. 😂 She also looks like a fairy with that wand and the hair and stuff. I really don't care about if Tiana or Diana or any of the other ships happened that are not in the Sophie love triangle. I just want SOMETHING to sail. I do care a little about the Kotlc movie because it could get my family into Kotlc. But, idc if they don't get into it all I care is that we get a great movie, even if it's not perfect. What Sophie did was impulsive and when I read it I thought she burned down so much info. But I'm glad she's being like that. If I was her I'd already have defeated the Neverseen. I agree with the Jensi one. He was a great character but we don't need him now. One time, something mentioned Prentice and I was like "Who's Prentice? Oh! He's that guy who had a broken mind and is irrelevant to me now. Okay!" Keefe has made a lot of bad decisions. Hopefully running away will teach him something. Now who's ready for Stellarlune!

[@afterreading-]

My biggest unpopular opinion: Alvar is the best character.

[@fantasy_fanbase]

Curious to hear why!

[@afterreading-]

I feel like he's always been hiding under a mask of some sort, whether hiding secrets as during the first four books, or the Neverseen mask, and then the amnesia mask. The first time he was unmasked was in Legacy at Candleshade, and he was very...interesting. Really I find the whole scene there with him in Legacy interesting. People can point to the fact that he says that he stands by what he's done, but remember that elves can't feel guilt or else they'll shatter? Plus, he's lost EVERYTHING that he had to be remotely proud of (and I personally love redemption arcs, and I hope he does still get one). His personality is a lot like Keefe, something I feel like a lot of fans forget. He has a different story and has made huge mistakes, but Keefe makes mistakes too and we're there for Keefe no matter what.. Honestly, Alvar grabbed my attention from the very beginning and I'd love to learn more about the unmasked Alvar that we saw in Candleshade. I hope he survived. Plus, may I mention that instead of living the high life he risked everything to expose his families dark secrets and get other people to search for them (like I'm hoping Biana especially will continue to look into the Vacker Family Legacy-but find a better way to go about it of course. Like I said, I do understand that Alvar made some huge mistakes). I really think it's unfair that the council hasn't yet punished Luzia Vacker for treason and won't punish Fitz for attempted murder, but would immediately punish Alvar for revealing the treason and nearly being /being Fitz's victim.. I'm not saying that he must be everyone's FAVORITE character, even though he is mine. Only that everyone be open minded to the idea of Alvar changing, because he almost did. Sophie almost talked him out of helping the Neverseen again. I don't know. I love the Vacker family because they're all so... complicated, lol.

Unpopular opinion: I like Lord Cassius. Maybe not like, but I sympathize with his character. I know he's written to be an obnoxious character and lots of times he is. But, maybe because I'm a grown-up and a parent, I tend to sympathize with him. He obviously has issues and insecurities, but ultimately he just wanted what he envisioned to be the best for his family. Anyways, I think it's obnoxious how children are openly rude and disrespectful to him all the time and it's written as acceptable. Well, I think Sophie is a bit disrespectful to adults in general, but that's a conversation for another time. I realize that I'm being old, you don't have to tell me.

Alden is the best! How dare you

I have an umpopular opinions because : -I hate Sophie -I hate Alden (and Della and Biana) -I love Alvar and Fitz (a lot of people hate them 😭😭) -I hate the Council -I love Gisela (she isn’t a bad mum) (and Trix, Umber, Alvar, Ruy, Fintan, Gethen, Vesper, Brant😭😭 and Glimmer) -I am fond of Neverseen But i have also popular opinions because : -I love Dex -I am crazy about for Keefe 💙💙 -I am be fond of Tam 💙💙 -I am crayon about the shader and the pyrokinesis ability

[@adyadubbudu1700]

Hold up, YOU LIKE ALVAR AND THE NEVERSEEN!!! You are a disgrace (jk lol they do bring a lot of plot to the story but still) I do agree with you about Fitz he’s WAY too overhated, but why do you hate Biana and Della. Biana is literally my favorite character. I think Keefe has too much page time and that Shannon should give that time to Dex or Biana

[@Melody_2408]

I don't like Della and Biana because they are immature. Also, they misbehaved with Alvar. Della has forgotten him, and Biana, locked in a hive at the mercy of his enemies while he has amnesia! For Dex on the other hand, I agree, he doesn't have enough time... On the other hand, avoid saying that I am a disgrace, it is not funny.

[@adyadubbudu1700]

@@Melody_2408 don’t forget that Fitz was the one that ACTUALLY locked Alvar in the hive, and he could’ve stopped it, and you still love him Plus, Alvar is a terrible person and he honestly deserves it

@@Melody_2408 for the disgrace thing, I literally said I was just kidding I don’t hate ur opinion

[@ashlynsawyer5456]

I agree with all of these especially with the lady Gisela one

[@gracekaram4947]

Ok, I definitely think there should be a ship that sails, all the relationship drama, between Sophie, Fitz, and Keefe, is actually super annoying to me. Also I also agree that Dex isn't underrated, but I don't think he's overrated either. I also agree that Jensi needs to go, he's had enough page time, and we don't really need him in the series anymore. I think Alden is definitely a little suspicious, always hiding things from Sophie, and saying everything is fine, but I don't necessarily HATE him. I just think Alden needs to go as well. Another thing that you didn't really mention, but I honestly think that Alvar needs to go, I feel like since he was kicked out of the neverseen, we don't really need him in the series anymore, anyway, sorry this is long, that's just my opinion on things. Also, about Keefe, I almost forgot! I think he definitely screwed up one too many times for me, but I'm also hoping that he will turn back, and realize he's made a bad decision, or Sophie will go after him

[@adyadubbudu1700]

But Keefe never has to serve a consequence and makes bad decisions because he thinks it will all turn out okay. Sophie needs to stop favoring him and let him have punishments

[@gracekaram4947]

@@adyadubbudu1700 yeah, I think that's a good point, even tho if you've read book 9, you know how that goes. I think maybe she let him suffer the consequences of his actions in book 10, maybe? I'd honestly kinda like to see what would happen

[@adyadubbudu1700]

@@gracekaram4947 yeah I have read book 9

[@lukeandlaurenmcilvenie6330]

I do NOT like Lady Gisela - at all - Sophie wasn’t being rash when she set that fire, she was taking a much needed stand - keefe is under a lot of pressure and his mum constantly does stuff to him taht is trying to “change him” or whatever, so yeah he made a few bad decision - cut him some slack! - and I personally want it to be a recreation of the book, it would be amazing to see the scenes unroll in front of our eyes - and Jensi deserves more page time. he was the first to reach out to Sophie (excluding dex and I guess Fitz too) and he’s so sweet and kind and has always been a good friend to Sophie! And it also kinda sounds like u liked maraca better but that doesn’t matter at the moment - and how could you not like Alden?!?! He’s saved Sophie from the council so many times I’ve lost track, and he’s so nice and supportive and has always been there for her. I don’t see how he could be part of the neverseen but I’ll admit its possible. Also, when did he tell keefe to stay away from Sophie? - and dex definitely needs more page time, but I think this comment is a little big so I won’t go too much into it - and I agree with the dex Biana ship but it doesn’t happen sadly. If I have offended anyone at all in this comment I did not mean to. Keep up with the great content! - KotLC Super Fan

[@lukeandlaurenmcilvenie6330]

Maybe it a little too big -

[@ima_weirdough2143]

I agree with everything you wrote😊

[@philip5853]

Sorry I can’t see Alden being evil but I will say that he isn’t revenant to the plot

[@seraphinamc4963]

I know people don't like Wylihn (Wylie and Lihn) because the age gap is too big, but in the books Alden is 100 YEARS older than Della. This makes the age gap for them seem like nothing. I've also think that in past books it seemed like they were there for each other. I don’t exactly 100% percent ship them together but I feel like it could be a cool ship in the series. However we can all agree it's better than Soforkle.

[@ashlynsawyer5456]

I definitely ship Wylihn

[@emilybennett6666]

I love Dex no matter what (Dex 4 present)

[@ilaynaa]

Alden is mildly infuriating tho 😭😭

Honestly, Lady Gisela is my second ranked favourite villain of all time. I feel like her plans, in the end, always work out, as we saw with Keefe's new abilities. I also agree with you on how Sophie burned the warehouse. I feel like even though it WAS a statement, she should have talked it over with the others, and also that she just did it because she wanted to prove to Glimmer that they were actually doing something. Also--ALL THAT INFORMATION THAT THEY COULD"VE RETRIEVED WAS LOST! However, moving on to your next opinion, I think that Keefe only did those things to protect Sophie, in his own way, even though his ways are a little extreme, and I also think that he shouldn't have run away. Next, I'm really really really really looking forwards to the Kotlc movie, so if it lets me down, I will be really disappointed, but as long as it is mostly right about the plot and cast, then I'm fine with some loopholes. I DON'T LIKE ALDEN EITHER! I can't explain why, but it's just kinda frustrating to see him saying "No reason to worry" all the time, when he could probably be more successful in letting Sophie and the others into what he's doing. Dex really IS overrated, but he is lovable in his own way. The next one, I have to disagree with. SOKEEFEEEEE! Moving onto my own unpopular opinions: 1. I feel like Linh and Marella are better off as friends, because they honestly have such a great friendship, and I love how they compliment each other with Fire and water, but I admit it would be interesting to see them together. 2. I think that Biana should be with Tam, or just remain single, because she has an entire independent thing going and I don't want to see that ruined. Tam, I feel like he would give Biana her own space, but be caring at the same time.
