I have read this book a while ago, and can’t believe I forgot to write about it on my blog! “Incarceron” by Catherine Fisher is a fantasy science-fiction with a strange haunting feature. The story is set in the future where people are forced to live the same way as in the past: with no electrical appliances. Hidden in a cube bead is a prison called Incarceron. Incarceron is no ordinary prison: It is ‘alive’ and has a mind of its own. People inside it often don’t remember how they got there or why they are here: some were born in the prison and some were brought there with memories of the outside world erased from their minds. They live a tough life in separate ‘tribes’ in different wings of the prison. Inside this prison lives a boy named Finn. Like most people, he doesn’t remember why he is here, but believes that he came from the outside. Soon he discovers a special device: a key which lets him communicate with the outside world and meets Claudia, the daughter of the prison’s warden. Claudia is trying to escape from a planned marriage with the son of the ruler of the country. She makes a deal with Finn: She will help him escape from Incarceron and in return, he will save her from the planned marriage. An action-filled book full of unsolved mysteries and that ominous feeling that follows the reader throughout the whole story.
