A review by ljudy
Sapphique by Catherine Fisher

4.0

If Catherine Fisher's first book about the live prison was imaginative, then Sapphique is even more original, even if a bit slower moving. The world outside isnt as perfect as Finn had imagined it, and things get more complicated when someone appears also claiming to be Prince Giles. Meanwhile, the prison grows impatient for the thing which made it so hardened and evil: an escape outside.

The book is ultimately a satisfying sequel containing some new revelations about the world which were both unexpected and brilliant. it does lack some of the original charm and thrill of Incarceron, but that doesn't keep it from being an enjoyable story with a unique mix of science fiction and fantasy elements.
