4.0 out of 5 stars better in order, January 30, 2008
This review is from: Shadows Of Sanctuary (Paperback)
This is the 3rd in the series. I'd read the second, and was too confused to enjoy it. I was right, I enjoyed the 3rd more than the 2nd, because I was familiar with the characters. Must look for the first one.

The Good:
Interesting world.
Nice mix of characters and kinds of stories.
It's fun to see the different authors' interpretations of the world and each other's characters.

The Bad:
It can be confusing if you haven't read any other books in the series. The individual stories don't explain a lot.

The Verdict:
It's a fun series, worth searching for, particularly if you read them in order.

4.0 out of 5 stars Grim, but Good, February 14, 2006
By Adam Gonnerman (North America) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Shadows Of Sanctuary (Paperback)
Sanctuary is a dark, depraved place. You certainly wouldn't want to go there on vacation...or for any other reason. "Shadows of Sanctuary" continues the stories of life in the armpit of Ranke, killing some off while crippling others and developing a few characters. This series is growing on me as I read it.
