review 1: 4.5 Stars: Non-spoiler- Such a great addition to this duology. The "Asylum #1.5" is a little misleading; DO NOT read this until you have read BOTH Asylum AND Sanctum. Otherwise you'll be spoiled to a major plot point of Sanctum. But if you have read them, check it out because it is really helpful.Spoilers- I wasn't sure how I was going to like this because I wasn't a huge fan of Cal in Sanctum, but I ended up loving it! Plus it was super helpful to fill in some gaps and information guesses for The Scarlets' past. I thought the writing style was just as great as in the other two novels and I really can't wait to read more of Madeleine Roux's work in the future. As far as the actual story goes, mind=blown! CAL was the one who killed his father??!!? In Sanctum; Micah is ... morealways mentioning how Cal was really messed up after his father died, making you think it was like natural causes or something, but NO. It's cause HE killed him trying to get away and then was immeadiatly brain washed to be one of them. Crazy! It was also kind of sad to see Micah and Lara since we know what happens to them in Sanctum. ;( But it was helpful to know their history too and know why they were always bickering. Overall, I think an amazing addition to the story and I'm so glad I read it. ;D
review 2: I read the reviews first, which concerned me because I had already decided to purchase this novella. I loved it! I'm not one to review the reviewers, but I will. I don't think they read the same book I did, at least those that made critical comments. Just by having creepy Dr. Reyes at the beginning tied the novella to Asylum. since I binge read the last half of Asylum I can't I remember Cal, if he was in there. the new track with Cal seems an interesting take on Brookline. I am anxious to start Sanctum to see how Cal and the Scarlets are looped in. what I have learned is that my reluctance to read reviews before I read the book is well-founded. less
