(Los puntos varían según el género del que se trate.)Si tienen ganas de ...

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...

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...

A very interesting book! I really think Fisher had amazing ideas and did a pretty good job at executing them. The writing was done in a way where you could image the Prison's scenery vividly. The concepts for this book is mind-blowing! I absolutely loved it! The characters, however, are the weak poi...

"Incarceron" is a mixture of fantasy, science-fiction, ya romance, dystopia, steampunk and mystery.I know it seems like a lot of genres blend in into one single book and that's exactly what it is. The author just couldn't decide which genre will take the lead so every once in a while we find ourselv...

What a fun fantasy to dive into! Another one of those books I randomly pulled off the library shelf - boy am I glad I did! Fantasy at its best. It's really been quite some time since I have read a pure fantasy young adult book. Incarceron is an excellent one to suck you right in. Finn and his frie...

I was immediately drawn to Incarceron after I read the synopsis. It sounded wonderful! It didn’t quite live up to my expectations, but it was still a pretty good book. It did take me a little while to get used to the narrator. It wasn’t quite what I expected. I always have certain expectations for a...

How many different forms of imprisonment are there? How irrevocable are they? What does living in that kind of prison do?I admire Incarceron for trying something that felt a bit new, and I generally enjoyed the story. I'm not sure I'd go back to reread it, though, so that's my personal line for a fo...

This is fucking cracktastic and I love it. It's part 1 of a duology (hurrah for fantasy not being at trilogy), the follow-up being Sapphique, and although it kind of leaves you hanging it's still a fairly effective emotional arc.So the premise is this: Incarceron, right, is a sentient prison. How ...

Original Review posted on Bookwyrming ThoughtsNote: Formatting may be lost due to copy and paste. I didn't think I would like Incarceron. The synopsis wasn't very appealing during the selection at the book club meeting. The only thing that I found appealing was the very fact that a prison is "a...
