Incarceron by Catherine Fisher

3.0

This is actually 3.5 stars but I can't give half stars on goodreads. I wish I could give Incarceron a full 4 stars but I can't and I can't quite put my finger on why. I felt like there was this huge build up that never fully paid off. I enjoyed the book and I will certainly read the next installment but something just didn't sit right with me. Perhaps it is because there was so much hype surrounding this book or maybe it was just because the cover looks so darn cool. I felt like there were to many secrets that were never revealed or explained we just knew the whole truth wasn't being told. It seems to be a growing trend in YA literature that the first book is mostly exposition and the real action will begin in the second installment. While I'm sure that is good for sales it's a little frustrating on the part of the reader.
