librarian_wendy 's review for:

Incarceron by Catherine Fisher
5.0

I couldn't put this down! Brilliant plot and great pacing. My only criticism (and it's mild) is that it could have been longer and included more character development. I felt as if I understood Claudia's motivation, but I wanted to know more about the Warden, Finn, Keiro, even the Queen. Luckily, more is coming and I can't wait for the sequel, "Sapphique," which is already available in the UK (darn those Brits!) I don't want to say anything about the plot, because it all unfolds so well. I will say that it's a great adventure story that raises very profound ideas about personal freedom and the restrictive bonds of society, as well as moral good and social welfare.
