A review from me to you:
Incarceron By Catherine Fisher YA:FIC
Dystopian despair with a hint of
steam-punk carries this young adult novel through a hidden prison. From the
perspective of a young man who was born in the prison to a young woman who was
born to the ward of the prison. The main characters are both struggling with
their beliefs regarding the expectations their elders and peers have on them,
as well as the mystery of how the prince of the kingdom disappeared and the
legend behind the only person known to have escaped the prison. I enjoyed this
novel for a few reasons. One was the switching of perspectives between our two
main characters. I was able to see their viewpoints clearly and to understand
why they had developed into the people they were. Their motivations began to
intertwine and led into a great sequel. I was impressed by the descriptions of
the prison and the kingdom. It was clearly another way to see two different
perspectives. I would recommend this book to anyone from 10 years old to 99
years old.
