Okay, can we take a second to talk about Sodex? Like, in Keeper of the Lost Cities, there are two COUSINS who are each other’s first kiss and one of them is crushing on the other. That is so messed up on so many levels. Sure, they aren’t blood related, but adoption, at least in my book and most people who have family who are adopted, is the exact same as being born into the family. You are cousins, by law if not by blood. It’s just gross to me, that Dex had to be a part of the love triangle/whatever-shape-it-is-now. Why couldn’t Shannon make Dex and Sophie cousins with a platonic relationship? If she really wanted to make a love square, toss in Biana or Stina, any kid BUT Dex! I don’t know if I’m taking this way out of hand but I think it is so weird.
