I was completely oblivious, but the gorgeous, shiny and mysterious cover dominated by an intricate sparkling key drew me in, like a moth to a flame. I never heard of neither Catherine Fisher, nor Incarceron before. The only reason I picked up this book in the first place, was because… it had a stunning cover. RaShell: Before I start, I have to make a confession. And so the plan for Finn’s escape is born … But there comes a moment when Finn, inside Incarceron, and Claudia, outside, simultaneously find a device - a crystal key, through which they can talk to each other. She knows nothing of Incarceron, except that it exists. In the outer world, Claudia, daughter of the Warden of Incarceron, is trapped in her own form of prison - a futuristic world constructed beautifully to look like a past era, an imminent marriage she dreads. A young prisoner, Finn, has haunting visions of an earlier life, and cannot believe he was born here and has always been here. It is a terrifying mix of high technology - a living building which pervades the novel as an ever-watchful, ever-vengeful character, and a typical medieval torture chamber - chains, great halls, dungeons. Incarceron - a futuristic prison, sealed from view, where the descendants of the original prisoners live in a dark world torn by rivalry and savagery.
