Mark Philpot reviewed Incarceron by Catherine Fisher
Review of 'Incarceron' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
Ugh! I really, really wanted to like this book. I thought the concept was interesting, but the execution was absolutely atrocious. Editing!! There are two main plot threads that Fisher attempts to intertwine and effectively ruins both. None of the characters are allowed to build because she allows no time to pass before abrasively cutting to the other thread. The plot is one where you'll at least want to finish it to see what happens, but be prepared for a very unsatisfactory ending that was obviously tailor made for a sequel or perhaps a trilogy.
I'm undecided if I'll continue the series... while I'm curious to see how the worlds evolve, my fear is that it will leave me disappointed.
Think the Matrix trilogy but without the excellent opening installment.
