infamousbraniac's review against another edition

I don't typically get to read too often during the school year so it usually takes me a lot longer finish books but I got through this one in a week flat. It's definitely a page-turner although sometimes the solutions were just a little too convenient. However, if you enjoyed Incarceron I would totally recommend taking the time to read the sequel which I personally think was even better than the first book.

This book was filled with so many unexpected twists. I had greatly enjoyed the first book in the series, INCARCERON, but wasn't happy with the beginning of Sapphique. I'm glad I kept going, because I ended up loving this book as much as I loved the first I loved the ending especially. It had (for my tastes) just the right balance of plot points wrapped up and uncertainty for the future. If everything's neat and tidy at the end, the story doesn't feel like a real story.

I was bit underwhelmed. It started out promising but the ending was just meh. I also find the fact that this is a 2-book series weird.

normally, if I finished a book and it didn't answer all my questions, I'd be frustrated and feel cheated.
But this one leaves you with just enough questions unanswered that I'm left with hope and satisfaction that it ended and everyone is just where I want them to be.
what an amazing end. I'd love another book, but I'm okay if this is it.
Finn/Giles, Claudia, Attia and Keiro. We get to know them so much more. All of their sides - their flaws their fears - their hopes and dreams. Even the Warden and Jared - we see their many sides as well. Casper and Sia, the queen - all are puzzle pieces to this story and all seamless come to the big tragic happy surprising end.
don't miss this!

Disappointing. Seemed to have all the weaknesses of the first book without its strengths. Ending did not tie up enough loose ends for me, and left too many unanswered questions. Also, did I mention... you named your male, non-lesbian hero SAPPHIQUE? Really? I'm still not over it.

I am fascinated by this world, but I found the story told to be disappointing.

The return of Finn-- supposedly the long lost prince of the Realm-- everything has changed. There are doubts of his legitimacy, and both the Queen and the Steel Wolves are engaged in a power struggle that Finn has no interest in. His concern is with the people he left behind in Incarceron. But even the prison, things are changing. The appearance of a mysterious glove sets Keiro and Attia to journey towards the heart of Incarceron in the hopes to freedom, but it becomes clear that the prison has other plans.
I wasn't sure what to expect from the sequel, but I must say that I enjoyed it more than the first. Again, Fisher alternated between Outside and Inside, which created suspense. I loved seeing the struggle, and I loved the added obstacles thrown at Finn and Claudia. I also loved the Keiro and Attia team. The fact that we already know the characters made this book somewhat fast paced, but I wanted MORE from the characters! I felt each of them was in a different page, and Fisher really dragged it.
And then there is the ending. I think the last twist is great, but... the only character that knew what was going on didn't bother explaining anything. So, like our main characters, we are lost, confused, and just dropped into the start of a new beginning. I didn't see how the solution could make that big an impact or change. I don't know... it was just...weird.
Despite all that though, I really did enjoy this book. It was better than I expected, and at times I marveled at how well Fisher phrased things. At the end, I even choked up because of the characters. It's a great dystopic series.
