Incarceron
by Catherine Fisher
Timely. Advanced. Dark. Mysterious. Shifting. All very good words to describe Incarceron (book and prison). I really admired the main character, Finn. He was a refreshing dose of humanity in the Prison. Keiro, Attia, everyone had a feral feel to them, even in their times of weakness. Even whenever they bared themselves to others, they were still guarded, constantly fighting for survival. Finn was like that on the surface, I noticed. Underneath, I could see why they called him the Starseer. He felt guilt, compassion, doubt, fear, and openly showed it. I guess that's what made him and Kiero such good oathbrothers; one was exactly what the other wasn't.
Onward to our leading lady, Claudia. I had my moments of pure frustration with her. Personally, I never understood her desperation to find Giles. She often repeats that they were betrothed and that she had liked him when he was alive, BUT not once does she mention if she had any deeper feelings for Giles. If she had, I would have understood her strong desire to find him much more. But she talked about him like a neighborhood friend who had moved away one day and never called. But she was bold, cunning, brave, and defiant, all qualities that I appreciate in a heroine.
I could go on and on and on about the book, believe me. But for anyone who happens to be bored enough to even read this review, I apologize. I must now depart. All in all, excellent read, if a little slow to begin with.
