With the release of the final Kingdom Keepers book tomorrow ("Inheritance: The Final Draw"), here is a recap of the first two books in this spin-off series - "The Shimmer" and "Villains' Realm." I also went over other information that may be relevant to the last book and inconsistencies (good lord, there are too many).YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5bww-Oi-ewLkuy9uIQ87kg Podcast link: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mackenna-butler Follow me @disneysafarigirl on Instagram and TikTokPersonal YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MacKennaSkye/videos Goodreads: www.goodreads.com/mackennab Here are links to the Long-Distance Sisters podcast:https://www.youtube.com/@long-distancesistershttps://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tori291 A big thanks to Ridley Pearson for this imaginative series :) (not affiliated with The Walt Disney Company or Disney-Hyperion Books or anything like that)Chapters0:00-0:44: Intro0:44-3:40: Main characters3:40-5:51: What’s the Shimmer?5:51-7:42: “The Shimmer” summary7:42-9:28: “Villains’ Realm” summary9:28-9:51: Disney characters9:51-11:59: Other relevant characters11:59-12:48: Other relevant things12:48-18:11: INCONSISTENCIES!!

Time to round out “Peter and the Starcatcher” with the real origin story of how The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, the Lost Boys, Never Land, and perhaps Captain Hook (??) came to be. Tune in next week for my review of “Rebel Rose” by Emma Theriault!
