MaryBeth Isaac's Reviews > Sanctuary

I like to read literary fiction and often read YA to take on something lighter between novels. Since this is a series and they are quick reads I have read back to back. I only rated 3 stars because it is not what I consider a "great" work BUT it the books are fun and I cannot deny that Meg Cabot has an incredible skill for capturing teen angst perfectly and humorously. Every sentence she writes is executed with a perfect blend of sarcasm and wit and it is difficult not to appreciate that.

These books were written several years ago and some of the content would be considered non PC by today's standards. Ironically though the group in the 4th book mirrors that of the far right in today's political climate and the story highlights some of the social and political issues facing our country today (even if unrealistically). The next few books I read will be more serious, thought provoking and impactful but this was a fun diversion.
