Ascher gets points for creativity and reader engagement in Sanctuary of the Shadow. She created an interesting fantasy world for readers to dive into, with Elementals, Hybrids, humans, Queens, and more. I also enjoyed the dialogue between characters – the conversations and relationships felt natural. Fair warning to those who care – there’s plenty of spice in the story. Personally, I do not shy away from on-the-page sex scenes. But those who are uncomfortable with the content can skip without missing much of the plot. Those who enjoy, however, will definitely get their fill without it overtaking the point of the story.
