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.

"FINN was marked on his jacket, his past life was not even a memory and the the prison can see everything. In Incarceron everyone is being watched and only Finn remembers who he is. A child of Incarceron. But when Finn finds out about a key he realizes he might have a chance to find out who he used to be. When the key comes into his possession he may have a chance to return to his previous life. Claudia is a rebellious girl who just wants to lead her own life and when she finds a key for herself. She may have the just have the opportunity to uncover harsh secrets and safe someone who might be break her engagement. Stuck in an arranged marriage, her life is nothing compared to what Incarceron is supposed to be. While Finn dreams of escape, Gildas, a Sapienti decided to help Finn along the way. Gildas always believed in the outside world and thinks that Finn is his seer that he can see the outside, but hasn't been there. Finn's blood brother Keiro dreams for a better life, being a prince and covered in jewels. To accomplish this he accompanies Finn on his journey to escape the horrid prison, but when the prison can feel and see every move your making even camouflage isn't enough.I liked these books because they made you want to read more after every chapter. I also liked the way it was created where you actually suspected anyone to be Sapphique at one point. Catherine Fisher did a good job with cliff hangers because when ever a dramatic parts came you would have to wait until the next chapter or part of that chapter to find out what happens. When Finn escaped I thought everyone would welcome him in and he would be crowned instantly, but in the book Sapphique he has a competitor to the throne... Himself (read more to find out what I'm talking about). I think that anyone who liked Incarceron and wants more should read Sapphique. If you liked Incarceron you might like Magyk because both books have the same ideas about family and origin."

" Very good! Highly enjoyable read! "
— Miss, 2/19/2014" This book was just as great as the first book! I loved reading about what was going on inside the prison and out in the world. This book made me squeal and scream at times. When Finn was being questioned on if he really was Prince Giles or not I was freaking out. I very much disliked the fake Prince Giles! I cried at the end though when Jared became Sapphique. This book was intense and I read it in one night! Love it! "

— Erin, 2/9/2014" I think I liked it better than the first book "
— Amy, 2/7/2014" Good writing & creative world it just was not for me it could not keep my attnetion very well. "
— Amanda, 2/4/2014" This was a great book but it seemed a little messy at times. They kept going back and forth and back and forth between the characters and setting which was a bit confusing but nothing too bad. I quite liked the ending and how the author kept Sapphique a mystery yet it wasn't a disappointing mystery. I also liked how the author said that Sapphique was in everyone in a way. How he was, in a way, Incarceron and the Outside. How he was the dreams and desires of the people in Incarceron. How he gave hope. Great idea overall and great plot idea. "
— Cami, 2/3/2014" This book was pretty good. But the ending confused the heck out of me. Seven different people had the glove at the same time. So who really had it? What about "What is the key that unlocks the heart?" You can't make such a big deal about that then go "Oh yeah just so you know I'll never tell you what it means MWHAHAHAHAHA!" The book was good with a few glittering sinkholes. Quite a few "
— Anthony, 1/25/2014" I liked it better than incarceron. That's probably just because I already knew who all the characters were and what they're going through. You know what? I really don't know what to say about this book. Like I'm at a total blank...well...ok then. I guess that's it. "
— Tessa, 1/13/2014" I couldn't finish the book. Even though I really liked Incarceron, I just couldn't get into the sequel. "
— Sara, 1/11/2014" Book somewhat ruined for me now that I know they have cast Taylor Lautner as Finn. What idiots. "
— Renee, 1/1/2014" A fantastic ending to this story in my opinion! "
— Lauren, 10/24/2013" Very compelling completion to Incarceron. I enjoyed the dual story lines and Finn's growth. "
— Lindi, 2/5/2013" I freaking love this series!!!! The next book needs to be out now. I hate waiting :/ "
— Bethany, 11/10/2012" Yay finished...hum it was a bit more complicated towards the end which required a lot more concentration than i could give at that point in time. But it was very good :) x "
— Louise, 10/18/2012" A great second follow up to "Incarceron". Attia is an amazing character. "
— Malinda, 6/26/2012" The first was def better- I felt like the sequel just kept going on and on and on and on... I'm glad that this isn't a trilogy! "
— Laureen, 10/21/2011" Ugh. I'm so annoyed that I wasted my time on this book (and Incarceron, for that matter; SORRY, Ash). SO strange. And such annoying characters. And just not entertaining. And just dumb. I could go on, but I think I'll stop before I offend anyone lol. "
— Kathleen, 10/5/2011" I found this book hard to get into, interesting in the middle and then disappointing in the end. I think it could make a great movie, I would just change the end a little! "
— Cheri, 6/29/2011" Kinda confusing, but a really great, well set up book once you understand it. "
— Cassidy, 6/29/2011" 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.<br/><br/>Somewhat predictable, but I can forgive that. <br/><br/>I was hoping for science fiction and I felt this bordered somewhat on fantasy at times. "
— Adrienne, 6/27/2011" this book is waaay confusing at the beginning,but the ending is worth reading. "
— Lilly, 6/24/2011" This book really confused me. I couldn't tell wether or not I liked it. It was very different from anything else I'd read, not just the plot but in the way it was written. It's a very unique book. It was fun and I finally decided that I really liked it. "
— Emily, 6/24/2011" This book was recommended by several people on the Robin McKinley blog and it was quite good. "
— E, 6/22/2011" I liked it. I just found Finn very boring, but I liked the other characters. "
— Musi, 6/22/2011" It took me about 70 pages to get into the story, but after that I was hooked. I finished books one and two in about 24 hours. "
