Listened to this with my husband, Bobby, on our road trip to Washington and back. I fell asleep in a few parts, so I missed some detail to the story.
I felt that the story may have dragged about figuring out where Incarceron was, but it was a fantastic concept and made our drive so much more interesting! Loved the fantasy elements, and really enjoyed the audio book. The reader was very entertaining.

Solid 3 stars. There were some twists I saw coming and some I didn't. Decent dystopia. I'll put the sequel on my to-read, but I don't know if I actually will get to it.

Take one princess. Add an impending wedding, a missing heir and a queen who appears to be an evil sorceress.
Alternately, take a prisoner with no memory of his past or crime, cities-worth of people locked away in an improbably-sized prison, and rumors of a secret escape route.
Mix well.
Add a dash of technology and the knowledge that all is not as it seems.
Come to the sad realization as you come to the last chapter, that while, you'll probably need to read the sequel to get to the real finale to the story.

Compelling story and interesting world creation. The ending was a little abrupt - a set-up for the sequel, which was disappointing, as I would have like this story to be a bit more "finished." Read for my YA book club.

This book had the makings of a great fantasy, but didn't quite make it. None of the characters are particularly engaging, the romance goes no where, even the "bad" guys aren't well developed. It was like the author couldn't figure out what book she was writing. I'll probably read the next book in the series if my TBR pile has nothing in it. Overall, my rating is meh.
