A review by highvoltagegrrl
Sapphique by Catherine Fisher

2.0

I’ll admit it, I wasn’t in love with Incarceron when I read it, though I could see the draw many people had towards it. I loved the idea of the book and the worlds created in it. I thought I would give Sapphique a try to change my mind and make me more of a believer. Unfortunately Sapphique fell very short for me. There was still no emotional connection with any of the characters. No one is lovable or anyone that I want to come out on top. They are pretty much all out for themselves and have nothing to offer in the way of being a strong character. All of these personalities seem to be written as if they are strong; all fighting for our attention, but it just falls flat. There is no obvious good guy in the story and then with the two “worlds” colliding it makes even more of a mess.

The ending didn’t go where I thought it would, which left me even more disappointed because it just all sort of fell apart. If there is to be another book in the series, I can’t see the point. It’s not getting better; there is nothing to look forward to. Even as I write this I get more and more disappointed that I wasted my time with this book.
