Publisher Description

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.              Because Incarceron is alive.

"I loved this book, I truly did, but I just cannot give a full 5 star rating, that's probably because somewhere near the end, Fisher lost her way or something, things just didn't add up, I blamed on the young-adultness and let it pass, I'll be sure to read the next book."

Quotes

  • “Fisher scores a resounding success in this beautifully imagined science fantasy…Complex and inventive with numerous and rewarding mysteries.”

    — San Francisco Examiner
  • “Fisher scores a resounding success in this beautifully imagined science fantasy.”

    — Publishers Weekly
  • “By delving into the philosophy of imprisonment and the development of society; discussing how history informs the present; and exploring self-awareness and sentience in nonhuman characters, Incarceron becomes something of a tour de force.”

    — School Library Journal
  • “A far-future thriller combines riveting adventure and masterful world-building with profound undertones…Like the finest chocolate, a rich confection of darkness, subtlety and depth, bittersweet and absolutely satisfying.”

    — Kirkus Reviews
  • “Fisher’s characters are emotionally resonant, flawed, determined, and plagued by metaphysical questions…With some well-timed shocking twists and a killer ending, this is a must have.”

    — Booklist
  • “Fisher creates a world of danger and suspense that will keep readers ensnared.”

    — BookPage
  • “Fisher’s dystopic future, in which technology and decay coexist in a dazzling kaleidoscope of images and time periods, is brilliantly realized…Elegant, gritty, often surprising.”

    " I tried liking this book, I really did. The idea of a steampunk/regency era was cool at first, but I had a hard time trying to understand the whole premise of it. "

    " I tried to read this book (read 1st 100 pages) and it just didn't grab me! It reminded me a little of Dean Koontz's 77 Shadow St which I struggled with as well. "

    " The worldbuilding in this book is different in a refreshing way, but the quick switches between characters made this a particularly difficult audiobook. The narrator also switched between an American accent for the telling and british accents for the characters, which was quite jarring. "

    " It's not that this novel isn't great. It's more like the author prolonged the story making it less and less exciting. "

    " Great young adult adventure. Easy to read. Easy to follow. Most importantly: I cared about the characters. I highly recommend it to anyone who read and like Hunger Games, or Maze Runner. "

    " Just good enough to keep me reading. I wanted to know what was going to happen - which makes me frustrated that it ends with a To Be Continued. I don't actually want to read the second one, I just want to know how it turns out. "

    " I found this book hard to enjoy In the beginning. It was just hard to follow and I often didn't know what going on, it was actually like that throughout the novel, I found myself having to reread certain parts just so I could understand what was happening. "

    " Quite predictable, but with some interesting concepts. And the romance was pretty much completely avoided, which was a welcomed change, in comparison with most of the YA books I read lately. But the development of the plot was predictable. I would not mind to read on. "

    " It was okay. There's a sequel, which I do want to read, but I'm not running out to get it like with the sequel to The Hunger Games.Somewhat predictable, but I can forgive that. I was hoping for science fiction and I felt this bordered somewhat on fantasy at times. "
