Sanctuary by Bree M. Lewandowski – Review by Santana Hicks

Sanctuary by Bree M. Lewandowski
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After Petra’s brother is announced as dead by supposedly killing himself, Petra takes it upon herself to find out the truth. She does not think he would do that. She goes to the Cloistered City to follow in her brother’s footsteps. Petra slips into the role as a courier and tries to discover more about her brother’s time here.

She meets Rand, a captain in the Shivalry. He seems different from the rage filled fighters that the Shivalry normally have in their ranks. Petra is instantly intrigued by his unique eyes and can’t seem to get him out of her mind since meeting him. In the middle of the Festival of the Late Harvest Moon, Rand brings Petra to a magical garden where Petra accidentally bonds the two together using an ancient incantation.

The pair need to work together and get used to a new life together even though they are from completely different places. Will love prevail or will the empire find a way to destroy them.

I really enjoyed Petra and Rand as characters. The author did a wonderful job with the character growth of both, together and alone. The way they built the world made it come to life. I also really enjoyed the internal monologue.

I honestly think the author could potentially write a second book with these characters. There are some loose ends and the world is big and interesting enough to continue on.
