Very looking forward to start the next one :) ( ) Look I hated this book. Not because it was bad, it wasn't. It was one of the most intricate and imaginative plots I've ever read. Not because I didn't finish it, because I flew through the pages. But - it was just straight up depressing. Kind of like If I Stay by Gayle Forman - great but just makes you feel too sad. Sarah Fine is an amazing writer. The quality of writing is incredible. But I can't read anymore of this series. I'm easily depressed as it is - I try not to make it worse if I don't have to. If you're not easily triggered give this a shot. And if you are - then read her other stuff. Start with Reliquary for instance. Just as incredible - but happy. Really interesting premise, with a promising beginning. Unfortunately, the plot is overwhelmed by an unconvincing insta-love story. The writing is technically good and I only noticed one editing dealie (flare instead of flair, as in for the dramatic). Lela is a great main character who is neither too perfect nor annoyingly self-absorbed. Sometimes, her fighting ability struck me as a little too much, especially for a 17 year-old with zero formal training, but okay, I'll let it pass. I did like her character arc, especially towards the end, where her desire to help Nadia is shown in a different light. I wasn't in love with the ending though. It didn't seem to fit with the mechanics of the world the characters lived in and struck me as a bit deus ex machina. Overall, I liked it enough to want to read the next book. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"My plan: Get into the city. Get Nadia. Find a way out. Simple."A week ago, seventeen-year-old Lela Santos's best friend, Nadia, killed herself. Today, thanks to a farewell ritual gone awry, Lela is standing in paradise, looking upon a vast gated city in the distance--hell. No one willingly walks through the Suicide Gates, into a place smothered in darkness and infested with depraved creatures. But Lela isn't just anyone--she's determined to save her best friend's soul, even if it means sacrificing her eternal afterlife.As Lela struggles to find Nadia, she's captured by the Guards, enormous, not-quite-human creatures that patrol the dark city's endless streets. Their all-too human leader, Malachi, is unlike them in every way except one: his deadly efficiency. When he meets Lela, Malachi forms his own plan: get her out of the city, even if it means she must leave Nadia behind. Malachi knows something Lela doesn't--the dark city isn't the worst place Lela could end up, and he will stop at nothing to keep her from that fate.Sanctum is Sarah Fine's first novel.
