Our view
“Flashback” is a long, eventful seventh Keeper of the Lost Cities book in which Sophie Foster has to learn to fight as the Neverseen close in. Some readers who loved the previous volumes find it a letdown, with a long, dull middle stretch, and are left exasperated by its final lines. At nearly 850 pages, it is aimed at readers aged nine and up who already follow the series and mean to see it through.

About the book
The seventh book in the international bestselling Keeper of the Lost Cities series. Perfect for readers aged 9+ and fans of Harry Potter, Rick Riordan and Amari and the Night Brothers. Sophie Foster doesn’t know what – or whom – to believe. And in a game with this many players, the worst mistake can be focusing on the wrong threat. But when the Neverseen prove that Sophie’s far more vulnerable than she ever imagined, she realizes it’s time to change the rules. Her powerful abilities can only protect her so far. To face down ruthless enemies, she must learn to fight. Unfortunately, battle training can’t help a beloved friend who’s facing a whole different danger – where the only solution involves one of the biggest risks Sophie and her friends have ever taken. And the distraction might be exactly what the villains have been waiting for. Don’t miss the brand-new book in the series, Stellarlune, out now!
