you could theoretically read the series in the order 8.5, 9.5, 9 instead of 8.5, 9, 9.5 because books 9 and 9.5 take place parallel to each other but also sophie and keefe never interact between them so hypothetically there should be no difference (and no spoilers either way).

another thing you could theoretically do is alternate between reading books 9 and 9.5. a chapter here, a chapter there. it would be like reading a longer version of unlocked, with the povs alternating between sophie and keefe.

in fact, in theory, there could be a possibility of even less spoilers if you read it 8.5, 9.5, 9. for example, if vespera makes an appearance in unraveled, and you didn't know she would die yet, it could be a really cool way to see her last minute and have an extra layer about her before her death. whereas if vespera makes an appearance in unraveled and you already know she's going to die, it feels a little more empty. not completely meaningless, but like. kinda empty. like if vespera hints at a larger plan or something in unraveled and you didn't know she was going to die, you'd be super excited to see this plan shake out, but now that we know she's going to die something like that wouldn't hit as hard.

Sophie never seemed romantically interested in Keefe, sorry

it was more like a little sister comforting her brother

which is JUST as sweet!

it just seemed more like a sibling dynamic is all

I feel like the cover being “underwhelming” is rly fitting. It’s set in the human world, and everyone is wearing human clothes, of course it won’t look as magical and majestic as the others.

On top of that i’m pretty sure there won’t be any scenes where anyone is using elvin abilities, which have been prevalent in basically all previous covers.

memory loss au???

i NEED someone to edit the new cover to make keefe look closer to the wet cat he is, i REFUSE to believe he looks that chill / put together rn

do you ever think about how pissed alvar was that fitz stopped pressing buttons

I haven't yet, but do you ever think about what, exactly, Alvar was yelling while he pounded on the glass? Because Fitz didn't specify

Was he furious at being imprisoned, enraged they stood by and watched? Was it because he was trapped or was it because it was them, his baby siblings, who had done it? Was it because it was just another example of the young being "better" than the old, or was it because deep down part of him wanted them to join him, to follow him, for there to still be something there, and this was a betrayal to that secret wish

Or was he desperate? Was he pleading, beseeching, imploring? Scared and screaming as the goop poured in hot and thick, yelling to be let out, to be saved. Did part of him, deep down, still believe that they would? That the family he'd scorned and disowned still meant something? That though he'd set the bridge on fire with his own hands, his baby siblings would reach out theirs?

What was he yelling, Shannon?

Keefe

the unraveled cover broke me, who knows how much fan art i've drawn and I managed ti have only drawn Keefe three times total. However.....yall I had to redesign him

im kind of obsessed with the way jason chan drew the jackets on the cover.. like the way he made them all different styles and how you can almost feel that material.. god 🥺

[loreintheaether]

okay now that I'm thinking about it, try imagining a person who has never read kotlc seeing this cover in the bookstore.

without context, this cover is low-key crazy 😭 like, why is there a VERY suspicious person in the middle of it and why is the blond boy staring at us? why is this book promoting stalking and kidnapping on the cover? where is the direction of this book going? is it a thriller or yaoi disguised as a thriller?

One day in the near (ish) future there will be keeper fans who only read the series after they all came out. They’ll say things like “do i have to read the novellas?” Or “ugh I got spoiled for kotlc book 27: lunarmode. Yeah, apparently the moon colony they established after the neverseen blew up the earth got invaded by genetically engineered horse demons”

And like we’ll just have to cope with that

[loreintheaether]

i will NOT tolerate jason chan art slander. My man is carrying kotlc on his BACK

[loreintheaether]

I haven’t been on tumblr in years and I’m surprised that you still post. Holy shit.

A year in your world is but a day in mine, you're just a flicker, sparking impermanently against the endless eruptions of a star.

[loreintheaether]

Personally, I love this cover
