It’s been a long time since I’ve become so invested in a new YA series.Ī prison set in outer space, Sanctuary is a little harder than the average incarceration facility to break out of. It’s been too long since I got to read a nice prison break, and while Sanctuary was a little different than what I expected, I can’t wait to read the rest of the trilogy. While if you don’t have an outside point of view you may have a small claustrophobic setting, escaping from jail and running from the cops is a suspenseful, odds-against-you storyline that’s so inviting for the roller coaster ride it’s no wonder the public generally secretly cheers on those who manage to get over the walls.

And Kenzie might have to team up with her captors to surviveall while beginning to suspect theres a darker side to the Omnistellar she knows.I truly do not understand why prison escape fiction is so rare. As Kenzie forms her own plan to escape, she doesnt realize theres a more sinister threat looming, something ancient and evil that has clawed its way into Sanctuary from the vacuum of space. Yet it soon becomes clear that her mother is more concerned with sticking to Omnistellar protocol than she is with getting Kenzie out safely. At first, shes confident her commanding officerwho also happens to be her motherwill stop at nothing to secure her freedom. But then a routine drill goes sideways and Kenzie is taken hostage by rioting prisoners. As a junior guard, shes excited to prove herself to her companyand that means sacrificing anything that wont propel her forward. As a citizen of Omnistellar Concepts, the most powerful corporation in the solar system, Kenzie has trained her entire life for one goal: to become an elite guard on Sanctuary, Omnistellars space prison for superpowered teens too dangerous for Earth. Kenzie holds one truth above all: the company is everything. Alien meets Alexandra Brackens The Darkest Minds in this thrilling debut novel about prison-guard-in-training, Kenzie, who is taken hostage by the superpowered criminal teens of the Sanctuary space stationonly to have to band together with them when the station is attacked by mysterious creatures.
