A review by trop_de_livres
The Sanctuary by Andrew Hunter Murray

medium-paced

3.0

In a post climate change, dystopian England of the future, our story is told by Ben. He is working as a portrait painter and his life revolves around his fiancée Cara. She is working for a mysterious company that runs the walled towns where the wealthy live, and to Ben’s frustration, she has been putting off returning home. He is utterly confused when he receives a break-up letter from her with little explanation. This compels him to travel to her last location, a mysterious island called The Sanctuary, a journey that will lead him to discover what is really going on. 

Andrew Hunter Murray is a very talented writer and I enjoyed his writing on a sentence level. However, the novel was just too slow going. If the pace had been increased it would have been a 4 or 5 star for me. Thanks NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for letting me read this in exchange for an honest review.
