Sanctus door Simon Toyne gold Edition
Sanctus complete review by Simon Toyne (English)
So I completed reading this book completly so I decided to write this bookreview for you guys together with my opinion on it. I think you guys should read this book if you like religious mystery novels.
Storyline
So there is a prophecy that a certain cross will fall and rise, it is
all pretty vague on this like all prophecies are. A monk in Turkey who
had been tought deceased years ago commits suicide, in a strange way
like a cross.
Media attention ofcourse ensued him standing up in there and falling,
the investigation leads to his sister whom nobody tought existed. She
starts her own investigation into the matter, that leads her to the
secret part in the monastery with the age old mystery in the monastary
dating back to the creation of mankind.
Everything that can go wrong does go wrong according to Murphy's law and by the end, all comes in alright
My opinion and other irritating stuff
I think personally it was a good book, but I found it difficult to
relate to secondary characters tough like the people the abbot sends out
to kill or harm liv for example, I did know them and remembered them
trough the book but I just couldn't bring myself to care about them.
At the end, I found out what the sanctus actually is and I was a abit
dissappointed by it. But Because it gave me a good feeling anyhow I give
this book, by Simon Toyne 8,5/10
bonus: this guy has a website and it turns out that there is more books set in this universe, I am going to hunt them down!
Sanctus first part review (english review)
The book I am currently reading, is Sanctus and is divided in parts and if you thought I wasn't going to milk it out you were wrong! So I'm talking about this now for abit.
The Dutch article was actually somewhat late but this is one is on time!
Storyline
So its pretty easy and a bit complicated but I'm reviewing it anyway, a
human monk (yes this is fantasy and not fantasy really ) commits suicide
because reasons he was a monk in some sort of christian sect, one of
the oldest around if not the oldest one.
He commits suicide to pass a message to the proper authorities by
jumping from the top of the monastery so he would land outside the
jurisdiction of the monastery and he would be picked up by the Turkish
police.
Also interwoven in the story (actually its were the main story is about)
there is a prophecy in this universe that the true cross will appear on
the earth and the monk also kinda made a scene when committing
suicide.
Some Americans either find peace or draw their attention to the monastery because of that prophecy that I talked about
My opinion and other irritating stuff
I find this to be a very good opening for this book. I'm also reading
this book in English its original language, I personally think that
everyone should be able to read books in their original language. I
master multiple languages so I am able to read books in their original
language.
The message in this is go out there and learn another language!
Review of the second part of Sanctus by Simon Toyne
Review of the second part
of Sanctus
So I have now arrived at the
start of the third part of sanctus, and I will review it for you
guys.
I do have to mention that I
now am unable to watch movies because for now I do not have acces to
my external harddrive at the moment. I'm not at home and I left it at
home so I kind off have to wing it if I want to publish articles
about movies.
But were not here to talk
about that are we? Let us go to the storyline of this part
Storyline
So basically the second part
of the book revolves about the investigation of the suicide, Arkadian
the chief inspector at the Ruin police deparment that has been doing
this case calls the number found on a piece of leather found in the
intestines of the monk that comitted suicide. After several attempts
he manages to get a female on the line who is apperently the monk's
sister while normally one cannot have living family members if
they're in the acient monastery. As to be completly cut of from the
outside world.
The sister, who hasn't heard
from the monk is surprised, that her brother was still alive after 8
years of being missing until a couple of hours ago.
She didn't need to come all
the way from the states to Ruin which is in Turkey for investigation
or somewhat but she did, and as soon as she arrives she kind of gets
abducted by the people from the citadel (the abbot kind of
reestablishes the military order that used to be tied to the
religious organisation, by the way we learn more and more about that
order) and it then ends with the cliffhanger that
she is in some kind of freak accident in the abducters car.
We also have
some conspiracy nutters tagging along, maybe they saved her I don't
know myself yet.
My opinion
and other irritating stuff.
My opinion about this part
is that this is way cooler than the last part, I enjoyed it more
because now I am really in the mood to read this book.
Tough I more or less
missed some key elements that maybe aren't even key elements, I could
have wished that more had been explained about the religious order.
Sanctus second chapter to the last chapter review
I have finished reading this book. But I've this to type out and publish first namely type out a review of these chapters, but after this I need to type out the review.
Storyline
So the sister of the monk is examined in the police station and is about
to be led to the morgue to see the dead body of her brother. But then
the fire alarm goes off and she kind of has to escape to go continue her
research into her brothers dead.
Now after the research has been done her boss at home gets killed and
her home burned down so there is not any evidence that she even ever
existed. Now the fight is coming to the monastery and eventually the
sanctus gets revealed and she is once again united with her brother and
everything gets alright anyway.
my opinion and other irritating stuff
I think this is a good read but then again in his part of the book, I
was like THIS IS THE SANCTUS? EVERYTHING IS A CONSPIRACY? OMG!
