I love this world, love this world, love this world!!!!!

So, I'm guessing if the book is called Roman’s Chronicles, Book 1 that there will be a Book 2 and maybe if we are lucky a Book 3 too 🤞🏼🤞🏼 at least I hope so.

I honestly LOVE that this world is getting bigger and bigger and that we are getting these different POVs, from Julie and now from Roman.

Roman has always been one of my favorite characters. I love his snark and banter that comes out with whoever he meets, but mainly with Kate and Curran - because whom am I kidding???

And I'm so glad I waited for the full novella instead of reading a weekly serial. It's just not the same for me. Enjoying the full story without interruptions is just what I needed today.

I really enjoyed Roman's backstory and how he became Chernobog's volhv. Loved to learn more about his fascinating and chaotic family. And his little menagerie was just the icing on the cake. Roman is such a softie 😍

Surprisingly, Sanctuary wasn't exactly what I expected.
The novella feels like the beginning of a longer story. Which I'm not mad about.....

Because Roman is a character that is fascinating in his own right, and deserves a longer story than just a novella.
I adore his signature snark. But in Sanctuary he is also a broody Roman. Which I never would have guessed of him. And I swooned at his soft heart and his collecting of beasties. Working for the gods is not an easy job, and Sanctuary gave me a bigger glimpse of how Roman feels about his work and the slavic gods in this world.

My love for this world and its characters has not diminished over the years. It's still the BEST thing since sliced bread. And finishing one book just means that I'm craving the next one, and the next one, and the next one ...

Vanessa Cardenas Wait! I just finished reading this book. There’s actually more to the story?? Would you be able to point me to the direction to the full story to Roman!

Hi Vanessa, sadly there isn't more than the novella at this point... ;(
But I believe the authors implied on their blog that there will be another novella about Roman sometime in the future... Just not quite yet...
