<\/a>\"\"<\/a>I really enjoy novels that are set in a unique and exciting new world, and Incarceron<\/a><\/em><\/strong> by Catherine Fisher fit the bill perfectly and didn’t disappoint.\u00a0 Finn is an inmate in a futuristic, self-aware\u00a0prison called Incarceron.\u00a0 He doesn’t remember anything from before the age of 15 when he recalls waking up in Incarceron, but he is certain that he was born outside the prison and doesn’t belong there.\u00a0 The prison itself has come to life and is reigning over the inmates, and Finn is determined to escape its cruel walls.\u00a0 After discovering a crystal key, Finn makes contact with someone on the outside:\u00a0 Claudia, the daughter of Incarceron’s icy warden, who is betrothed (quite against her will) to the foolhardy prince.\u00a0 The two work together to plot Finn’s escape and the downfall of Incarceron, learning some surprising and coincidental things about Finn’s past along the way.<\/p>\n

I was so confused when I started reading this book.\u00a0 My problem was that I couldn’t figure out during which time period it is set, since there is a lot of futuristic technology but everyone dresses and behaves in a medieval way.\u00a0 But that problem quickly got set aside once I figured out what was going on, and the answer made it a really unique and thought-provoking book.\u00a0 The characters really come alive, and the technology is cool to ponder.\u00a0 I was on the edge of my seat right up to the end wondering if Finn would succeed in his escape and what his true identity was.\u00a0 Plus, I hear that it’s being made into a movie soon starring Twilight’s Taylor Lautner as Finn, so all the members of Team Jacob are sure to enjoy it.\u00a0 If you like dystopian novels or anything with a sci-fi\/fantasy slant, you’ll devour Incarceron<\/a><\/em><\/strong> and rush out to find its sequel, Sapphique<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
