Aimed at the Young Adult readership, this novel deals with time-travel, the mirror being the means to achieve this. Characters from the past, present and future inter-mingle and interact although it is difficult to know who to trust. There's also a fairy element added in, just to add to the engaging...
Arbie's Unoriginally Titled Book Blog
This sorry saga of a quartet comes to a rambling end and I just don't really care much. Fisher's total lack of planning lets her down completely in this disappointing waste of good ideas that also lacks some internal self-consistency. It should have been half as long (two volumes), taught and well t...

The third and penultimate volume of the Chronoptika saga - and here I use "saga" in it's most negative sense of long-winded dullness. I re-read the preceding two volumes in order to remind myself what was going on, a procedure I usually adopt if I've waited a year or so for the latest installment ...

This is the second book in the Oracle Prophesies series by Catherine Fisher. It's set in a world that is the same mix of Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece as in the first book (The Oracle). I liked the first book so much that I wanted to read the second in the series and I haven't regretted that deci...

Dieser verfolgt eine überaus kühne architektonische Vision: Er will eine gigantische, sich spiralförmig in den Himmel schraubende Straße bauen, die alle auf der Welt existierenden Bauwerke in den Schatten stellt. Forre...

I found the setting, the idea of the book, more interesting than the characters and action. And yes, I do mean that the setting is the idea. Incarceron is an unfathomably huge prison, self-sustaining and completely cut off from outside contact. Built centuries before the unspecified future age in wh...

I won't talk too much about this book since it's the conclusion to a series. Just know that it was just as amazing as the first. Fisher is an incredible writer and I shall continue to read her books as long as she continues to write them. The ending to this is a bit open-ended and can continue if ...

Catherine Fisher has become one of my favorite authors. Mostly because she tends to focus on the story and the characters as individuals. I loved her books Incarceron and Sapphique so I thought I should give her other books a try. I did and I loved it as well. This one is a fairly short story abou...

Incarceron could easily have been five stars. It has an amazing prison. I mean, a prison that's ALIVE? That is mind-blowing. It could have been epicness.But it wasn't, sadly.Let me be clear right from the start: This wasn't a bad book. I fairly enjoyed it. The beginning was a bit slow, but bit by bi...
