I have found that Caryan Lix's style is brief to the point of bare bones, often simply telling us what goes on in plain, unornamented prose without a nod for atmosphere. While this does make for a fast pace and makes the book very readable, at the same time, it often cheapens a lot of the more social concerns and likely contributed to Kenzie being slightly more self-obsessed than Lix possibly intended.

One of the most interesting things about Sanctuary, is that it explores its dystopian setting with reference to a protagonist who's quite naïve. While Kenzie’s company loyalty is understandable given the intensively her “patriotic” upbringing, at the same time, her smug claims about being a corporate citizen rather than a government citizen yet her total lack of concern for the unfairness of the world she lived in.

As a junior guard, she's excited to prove herself to her company--and that means sacrificing anything that won't propel her forward.
