“I hate when I do not have enough time to just sit and read a book until I'm done. Sanctus is a book that needs extended periods of time to read. I would get to the end of a chapter and couldn't wait to see what happened next and I'd have to get off the bus or back to work. Fortunately, the short chapters made it easy to remember where I had to leave off. While Sanctus is in the same genre as The DaVinci Code, it is a totally different read. Liv, and the reader, could not tell who were the good guys and who were the bad guys. You are taught to trust and believe religious leaders but these guys were something else. I liked how technology was used to make it easier for the bad guys and good guys to track people. While the question was an old one, the use of technology and how far each side would go to get what they wanted gave Sanctus a fresh feel. I was hooked from the beginning as Samuel stands atop the Citadel like the Christ statue in Rio de Janeiro trying to figure out why he was standing that way and why he wanted out of the Citadel. At times I was a little confused when some characters were introduced but once the explanation was received I could fit the character into the plot. I look forward to the next book of the trilogy. ”
