Taylor's Reviews > Sanctum

I read Asylum a couple of year ago and I thought it was okay. I didn't love it but I couldn't put my finger on what I didn't like. I feel the exact same with Sanctum.

I'm really not sure what about this book I didn't like. It wasn't the writing style but kinda was, it wasn't the characters but it kinda was, it wasn't the plot but it kinda was. It was just an overall... good.
I felt like as a critical reader, I had to turn off the critical part of my brain so I could get though this book. A lot of the things that happened just happened to move the plot along. It felt really planned and well thought out. I felt somethings could have been written differently and maybe a little bit better. The whole plot felt a little like a cheap horror movie. That's not a bad thing but it wasn't really for me.

I never really got into the characters. They were very normal and a little plain. Again, not a bad thing. It just wasn't for me.

Overall, Sanctum is a good read. It's not one of my favorites but there's really nothing wrong with it. A lot of people compare this series with Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (and rightly so. It's remarkably similar) and I personally like Miss Peregrine's a million times more.
If you're looking a quick read, this series is a good place to start.
