Episode #6
You are listening to Hyperfixation Nation, the podcast with your host Blake. In this episode of Hyperfixation Nation I will be discussing the book series Keeper of the Lost Cities. I will cover why I love the series, my thoughts on the morals of the 3 main groups of people, and Team FosterKeefe vs Fitzphie.
Segment 1: Introduction to the topic
I have been reading this series since I was about 8-9 years old and it has kept me hooked ever since. Keeper of the Lost cities is a fantasy book series that has some romantic drama - but it is not the main plot point, it has relatable characters, and it has a decent amount of representation. If you enjoyed Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan and Harry Potter by JK Rowling, you will probably like KOTLC. I have loved these books for so long that one could say that it is just a love and not a hyperfixation but every time I read one, I cannot stop, I just keep reading and reading and reading. My interest levels may go up and down but I still adore the series and will talk about it with anyone at any time. I love so many aspects of it and that is what I will be getting into next! ALSO SPOILER ALERT. I will be talking about everything that has happened in published books so far.
Segment 2: My love for it - why?
- The villains aren’t just villains, you can see that they are human and they aren’t really ALL bad
- The good guys aren’t all good either- they have done things wrong and they have mixed history with their actions also
- while the characters are fighting bad guys and have magic abilities and such, you can still tell that they are just teens also
- The love web - it isn’t just a triangle
Segment 3: Morals of both teams

Segment 4: Sokeef vs. soFitz

- Sophie trusts Keefe with everything and has always had a special bond with him
- alvar messed Fitz up
- Keefe did bad things with Sophie’s interests at heart - trying to protect her
