The much-anticipated sequel to Incarceron, I blazed through Sapphique in two days; it was much more easy for me to become involved in Fisher’s fantasy world this time around, now that I had become invested in the characters (namely, Finn, Claudia, and Jared—not so much Keiro).
Finn finds that life on the Outside is not as he expected; he is struggling to comes to terms with the Protocol of life outside of the prison. To further complicate matters, Queen Sia is claiming that Finn is not the true heir to the throne, and Finn’s memory loss is an enormous detriment to his case. His patience and time is running thin.
Inside the prison, the Warden now is playing a dangerous game with Incarceron itself, as Incarceron begins building a body in the plans to go Outside. Attia and Keiro must keep Sapphique’s magical glove from reaching the prison’s grasp, but they are, of course, waylaid at every twist and turn of the prison’s tunnels and traps.
I did feel the ending was a bit rushed, but appropriate; Fisher did not go “the easy way out” and try to tie everything up too neatly. Fans of epic fantasy will certainly enjoy this fantasy with well-defined characters and magical situations.
