jenny_wildcatSPOILERS for "Incarceron" by Catherine Fisher under the cut!
I have not yet finished "Incarceron" so I don't know the ending, but I wanted to give a short bit about what I like so far. Trust me - there will be a full and proper review of this when I finish (and mostly likely "Sapphique" as well, when I finish it).
This. Is. An. Amazing. Book. I had plenty of people recommend this (including one of my younger brother's friends who isn't what you'd call an avid bookworm) and I was so excited when I got the two-book set for my birthday.
Imagine my confusion when I began to read and had absolutely zero idea what was even going on. I very nearly gave up in chapter 6 because I was so confused and lost. But I went back and re-read the first few chapters and ... well, I still was lost, but I stuck it out. And now I can't stop reading! Of course, I will have to stop because it's Memorial Day weekend and there's always some family stuff going on - but if I can get away and finish the rest of this, I will.
So far, I've made it to chapter 30 where Claudia is trying to get into Incarceron (it's a microscopic prison? Like, they shrunk people down and stuck them in some mystical cube where they just... sit there? Good gravy, this is intense!) And what in the world is going to happen to Jared? (how old is this guy, anyway? I keep seeing an old-grandpa-type in my head, but everyone keeps saying how young he is, so I don't know what to make of it). Caspar's an idiot, that much is clear. The Warden... he is... something. He does stuff. I don't know how I feel about this guy. Too much ambiguity so far (that is not a bad thing).
Okay, I'm going to read more - bye now!
