Incarceron
By Catherine Fisher
**** stars
Outside, the world is ruled by Protocol, a decree from a previous king that everyone and everything should look like the era of his choosing. Claudia is the daughter of the Warden of Incarceron, a mysterious prison that was sealed long before her father came to hold his power. Claudia wants nothing more than to find the gates of Incarceron, in the hopes of blackmailing her father into undoing his carefully laid plans to make her Queen.
Inside is riddled with thieves and murderers ready to plunder and enslave at a moment's notice. Although Finn has participated in many ambushes and raids, his heart was never in it. His main focus was his visions, which he believed were memories from his time Outside. On his last raid he kidnapped a woman, for she knew something about the so far unexplainable tattoo on his arm. Finn decided he must find out what this woman knows, she may hold the key to his past.
In seemingly separate worlds, Finn and Claudia discover identical keys to (and from) Incarceron. With these keys comes the ability to communicate, and neither Claudia nor Finn can resist. Soon they embark on a journey neither one is prepared for. And when dark secrets are revealed, will Finn and Claudia be able to claim their destinies or will they be swept away in the Era?
Incarceron is a thrilling combination of subtle fantasy and overwhelming sci fi futuristic elements. I truly enjoyed this book; there were so many twists and turns. Incarceron kept me guessing until the last page. Once I thought I had figured out what had happened, a new element was introduced. Having read other books by Catherine Fisher, I was not surprised to find myself engrossed in her newest trilogy. I would recommend Incarceron to fans of Cassandra Clare's Immortal Instruments trilogy.
PS: The sequel is coming out later this year.
