Such a fun read. Love an academia setting and this took that to another level (literally and figuratively), but held it all together with some relatable characters, charming humor and a story that deserves falling into.

And that epilogue…gimme book 2 NOW!

Hats off to Chris Delude - what a captivating and fascinating read! The concept of the Sanctum was incredibly creative and intriguing, and the general storyline / characters were well developed and extremely likable. I loved the ending too - what a fun cliff hanger!

Scholars Sanctum takes you through all the emotions you could want to feel when reading a book. You have a nice main character, who isn’t without his flaws, figuring out how to navigate and balance his life as an academic. He meets a lovely lady and it’s this relationship that keeps the whole story grounded, even when things become a little mysterious and fantastical. The character development is stellar, their pain points feel relatable, and I love a good twist in a story.

A really enjoyable read. Unique and creative concept with likable character and an engaging story. Honestly, I was really enjoying just vibing with the characters, but then the twist of the Sanctum was thrilling as well! Good stuff Chris!!
