As I've said before, I'm not rating this series, but I will admit that this is the point in the series that I don't remember some of the plot points, and so there is a small part of me that enjoys the end of the series more. That being said, I'm not a fan of Sophie's inner turmoil and some of her reactions in this book, so it's not my favorite. That's all I'll say in terms of "review-esque" opinions on Legacy.

Without further ado, here are my notes on Legacy, and just a fair warning, there may be spoilers for this book and others in the series:
- (5) I can’t believe the elves don’t have some form of virtual learning … if the humans have school on Zoom, surely the elves have something better
- (48) I hope Tam didn’t have any deep dark secrets about himself that Gethen discovered … *cough cough not into girls*
- (58) Okay, I understand that the Neverseen wants to use Linh as a way to control Tam, but they have Gethen back, and wiping his memories (at least selectively, maybe of Sophie and her friends) would be beneficial because at least then they don’t have to coerce him into doing exercises and working for them
- (101) Call me cruel, but I’m with Forkle on the “dating can wait; saving Tam and the rest of the world can’t”
- (122) How much do you want to bet that Grady and Edaline have a running bet of who Sophie will end up with?
- (124) My biggest issue with this book is how Sophie won’t shut up about the unmatchable thing … I get it, you’re a teen … but please get a grip
- (129) I don’t want to read too much into Sophie’s dreams because they are DREAMS after all, but she sees a male and female figure (presumably her biological parents) standing off in the distance “apart but somehow together,” and I don’t know if that means Forkle lied and Oralie is connected to Sophie’s dad, or if Sophie’s just having random dreams again
- (136) messengers are used to inform Biana, Dex, and Stina to come to the Seat of Eminence
- (149) I forgot how much I agree with Stina in this book
- (155) Okay, now I’m noticing parallels between Ruy and Alvar and Biana and Dex … mostly in the differences in social class (and for the record, I don’t necessarily think Biana and Dex would make a good couple), but I’m just saying there’s some similarities there
- (202) Why is Bronte so adamant that Sophie does not find out who her parents are…
- (210) It would’ve been better if literally anyone other than Sophie named the team
- (212) I know Keefe is joking when he says the edge of space is the perfect spot for a Neverseen ambush, but the Neverseens Technopath could build a satellite or something with homing missiles if they really wanted to… just saying
- (227) Reason #2 why this book annoys me: “she’d already known that she was going to hate the people who’d donated their DNA to the black swan and then abandoned her” - like she doesn’t even give her biological parents a chance before she decides that they’re monsters for “giving her up” to an organization they weren’t even technically part of
- (274) The Dex and Biana friendship gives me life
- (329) Forkle mentions that he didn’t bring Elwin to heal Amy when Sophie inflicted on her … but why would he ever consider bringing in Elwin at that point because Sophie still lived with the humans
- (346) Do I want to know how Forkle secretly got Bronte's DNA so he could use it to inspire Sophie's?
- (415) One of the main things Sophie is worried about is Tam making friends in the Neverseen…
- Maybe I’m looking in the wrong places, but why haven’t I seen fanart of Sophie and Team Valiant's outfits
- Okay, wait, so humans have tech that lets them trace ancestry through DNA, and you’re telling me that with the elves using DNA for literally everything, Sophie has yet to do a DNA test to find her parents?
- (516) Also, Elwin was present for a whole conversation about Sophie not knowing her biological parents and said nothing
- (537) How did I not notice all the Biana Dex stuff before? I’m not sure how I feel about them as a couple, but their friendship is so good
- (621) Keefe’s parents canonically sleep in different beds
- (630) Ruy is on bed rest, and it might be the last time he and Alvar ever see each other … I refuse to believe they won’t kiss before this series ends (at least in my mind)
- (639) Why did Gisela specifically want a son? Does she have a second ability, and if so, what is it? So many questions and so few answers
- (668) Sophie is so ungrateful to Oralie, and it drives me nuts. Little Miss “I’m allowed to be selfish” can’t fathom that Oralie had valid reasons (and yeah, sure, maybe some selfish ones too) that kept her from revealing who she was, but regardless she was always on Sophie’s side, and Sophie completely overreacts
- (681) Look, I don’t like Fitz. He’s annoying, and he definitely isn’t a great person. BUT I understand why he’s so upset about the match and why he is the way he is. He grew up in a world where everything was relatively perfect, and he had everything under control, and now he doesn’t have that control anymore, and the world is changing in ways that make him lose the power he always wielded to protect others. He wants Sophie to be matchable because it’s the only way he knows how to “protect” her from scorn, and he hasn’t adapted to the changes in the world. Part of this is his own fault, but he’s losing his place in the world, too, and he’s clinging to what little power and control he does have because it’s the only comfort for him at this point.
- (698) Why is Alina pushing so hard for everyone to go to Loamnore
- (750) Why can’t Sophie inflict when tied up? It’s literally a brain/heart ability
