The only one who escaped . . . And the one who could destroy them all.
Incarceron, the living prison, has lost one of its inmates to the outside world: Finn’s escaped, only to find that Outside is not at all what he expected. Used to the technologically advanced, if violently harsh, conditions of the prison, Finn is now forced to obey the rules of Protocol, which require all people to live without technology. To Finn, Outside is just a prison of another kind, especially when Claudia, the daughter of the prison’s warden, declares Finn the lost heir to the throne. When another claimant emerges, both Finn’s and Claudia’s very lives hang on Finn convincing the Court of something that even he doesn’t fully believe.
Meanwhile, Finn’s oathbrother Keiro and his friend Attia are still trapped inside Incarceron. They are searching for a magical glove, which legend says Sapphique used to escape. To find it, they must battle the prison itself, because Incarceron wants the glove too.Catherine Fisher has created an intriguing world with her Incarceron series. I'm still not sure if Sapphique is the final book or if it is a trilogy. It could easily go either way. I was satisfied with the ending of Sapphique but would read another book if there is going to be one.
The first book Incarceron was narrated by Finn and Claudia. In Sapphique we get multiple narrators so the story jumps all over the place with lots going on. This is a well written book but it is not a light read. At times I found myself confused at what was happening and had to go back and read portions again.
If you enjoyed Incarceron then this is a must read. Sapphique held my interest and was full or twists and turns. The ending was not what I expected but it's nice to be surprised once in a while instead of knowing the ending from the first chapter.

Incarceron is a prison unlike any other: Its inmates live not only in cells, but also in metal forests, dilapidated cities, and unbounded wilderness. The prison has been sealed for centuries, and only one man, legend says, has ever escaped.Finn, a seventeen-year-old prisoner, can’t remember his childhood and believes he came from Outside Incarceron. He’s going to escape, even though most inmates don’t believe that Outside even exists. And then Finn finds a crystal key and through it, a girl named Claudia. Claudia claims to live Outside—her father is the Warden of Incarceron and she’s doomed to an arranged marriage. If she helps Finn escape, she will need his help in return. But they don’t realize that there is more to Incarceron than meets the eye. Escape will take their greatest courage and cost far more than they know.Incarceron has a great plot and great characters. Told from the perspective of Finn, a prisoner in Incarceron, and Claudia, the prison warden's daughter who is being forced into an arranged marriage with a prince. The beginning of the book left me slightly confused at times because we aren't given many details but rather jumped right into the story. Multiple storyline from both the past and the present made it a little hard to follow and I had to go back and re-listen several times because I was lost. Ultimately I'm glad I stuck with it. Once I had the characters figured out a wonderful dystopian, fantasy story unfolded that held my attention to the end.
Catherine Fisher has created an intriguing, mysterious world with her book Incarceron. Looking forward to the sequel Sapphique which is already downloaded and ready for me to listen.

I WANT TO READ THIS BOOK!!!!!! I loved INCARCERON, and I can't wait for this one! And I'm pretty sure it's just two books. At least, that's what her website said.
I LOVED this book!!! One of the best books I read in 2010. Can't wait for the sequel! One of my fav series!!!!!
just read this as well (a little slow to post reviews lately though... oops!) and enjoyed a lot of things about it - the ending was a little bit of a surprise (I love when a book can do that) but I just can't seem to think it's over... despite the website - there is so much to tell still :)
I agree with you about the trilogy thing. It looks like this is the final book but I'd read another one just to know more about the characters.
I'm reading again Incarceron at the moment and them I'm going to read Sapphique too.
