Pinky's Reviews > Sanctum

Was this supposed to be a horror novel? Honestly, I didn't feel that way, it never gave me the creeps. I was so disappointed and I hoped that this series would get better. When I first saw this series, I thought that it would give me more scares. I thought it would be creepier than the Mara Dyer trilogy. But unfortunately, I was never scared. There were so many negative reviews but I wanted to read it anyway.

One of the reasons I didn't enjoy this novel was the writing style. For some reason, I wasn't really comfortable with it. All the dialogues and connections between the characters were so fake. The parts that were supposed to be funny, didn't make me laugh. The parts that were supposed to be scary, didn't scare me. I feel that the writing style didn't fit for this book.

Another reason is the plot, it was very week. I wasn't interested in the story because of how boring the plot became. The book was slow paced, and I just didn't enjoy it. I even tried reading at night, with my night lamp, but this novel wasn't scary. One of my favorite Booktubers explained how they didn't enjoy the book. I don't know why I read it, even after all the negative reviews.

The first book was also disappointing, but I was hoping that this book series would get better. But it never did, it just got worse. I didn't hate the characters, but I didn't love them either. I like it when I can relate to the characters, but I didn't. I felt that the main character, Dan, was selfish. He always got what he wanted and he gets jealous easily. The romance wasn't needed in this novel either.

I really wish I liked this book, but I didn't. Although the summary sounds epic, it isn't that interesting. But I guess this book isn't meant for me. Others may enjoy this book, but I definitely did not. This book just wasn't my cup of tea. I just kept reading because I hoped that it would get better, but it never did. I am lucky that I didn't get into another reading slump...
