A review by clacksee
Sanctuary by Andi C. Buchanan
Morgan lives in an intentional community of neurodivergent and mostly queer people in a rambling old mansion. Oh, and ghosts. Lots of ghosts. But when something starts scaring the ghosts, Morgan and the gang realise they have to help them.
This offbeat (sub)urban fantasy novel is affirming and supportive and just plain adorable.
I'll be honest, I really want to live with Morgan and their housemates. I absolutely love the writing. I love the inclusiveness. I love the found family and sense of community. What I didn't love was the editing – and I don't just mean typos, though there were typos. What I found distracting were the continuity errors (someone has many brothers at one point and then is an only child a few chapters later) and the sagging middle.
With a more thorough edit, this could be a really amazing novel. In many ways, it still is … just not quite as good as it could have been.
