Incarceron by Catherine Fisher
OK...I just started this book today so I'm not very far in but so far it is AMAZING. Well written, wonderful storyline, although a bit confusing at parts as it does change POV's from time to time. It is about a futuristic world in which people are locked in the Incarceron, which is kind of like the Pandorica for my readers who watch Doctor Who. Basically it is a box and when the project was spawned they were told that they might not see their loved ones for a very long time. Now the Incarceron, from what I gather is a living, breathing, spawning thing. It has the capability to spawn new people as it sees fit. The first Protagonist you meet is Finn who was actually spawned from the Incarceron. He is actually luckier than most because sometimes they spawn as full adults and they go insane but if they form as children they have a bit more of a chance to not go insane. Our second protagonist, named Claudia, is the daughter to the warden of the Incarceron. She is from the upper echelons of Incarceron's society and is far better off that Finn. One thing I should mention is that in the Incarceron they have an 'era law' so basically the government picks an era from history and recreates it to the letter. Basically King Endor passed a law that anything not periodically accurate to the 17th century is not allowed. He believed that in order to have a 'perfect society' time has to be stopped at one era so that progress is never made and the mistakes of the future remain un-doable. Claudia is actually betrothed to the King's son and when the eldest son, the one she was in love with, dies she is forced to marry his troublemaker/bad boy brother. How far will she go to escape this fate? Who knows? I haven't gotten that far but when I do you'll be the first to know...until then I do know this, Incarceron is a riveting read, especially if you like Steampunk. Until next time, keep reading and writing!
