On 2 May, Sentinel was reviewed by John Wyatt in The Sun newspaper. Check out his review below…
An ordinary orphaned teenager turns out to be the saviour of a hidden magical world.
Don’t think you’ve read this before in the Harry Potter books though, Sentinel sets a darker, grittier tone.
The action is fast and violent, the monsters, including a seductive vampiress, are memorable.
It’s the start of a trilogy and hopefully young Nicholas will get stuck into the fight a bit more in the next two.
But this is unmistakably a Young Adult novel, best enjoyed by people who can’t remember the 20th Century. 4/5
