Finn ha logrado escapar de las entrañas de Incarceron, el único hogar que recuerda, y ha visto la luz del sol y las estrellas. Sin embargo, se siente igual de preso que en la Cárcel. El Exterior no es el paraíso idílico con el que sus amigos y el soñaban, y Finn se ve atrapado en un complejo juego de intrigas y mentiras. Sabe que no será verdaderamente libre hasta que recuerde su pasado y pueda ayudar a su hermano de sangre, Keiro, y a su amiga Atria, que siguen atrapados en el Interior.
Claudia, la hija del Guardián de Incarceron, creía que si ayudaba a Finn a escapar y lo proclamaba príncipe heredero del Reino, conseguiría poner fin a sus problemas. Pero lejos de eso, su Maestro Jared y ella deberán enfrentarse a nuevos retos.
Además, corren rumores de que en la Cárcel hay un guante mágico: el Guante que Sáfico utilizó para Escapar. ¿Dónde estará?
¿Conservara sus poderes mágicos?

Cream cheese.

I read this so fast, but I was still entirely in love with the two main characters. I really still couldn't bring myself to care enough about the brother or the dog-slave girl, even though, as a team, they made so much more character-story cohesion. I have a want to know far more about the Warden.

I felt the ending was a little more sudden (and fixes everything) too fast, but I loved how Finn showed he understood where the truth always was. And in that way I almost hope for there to be a third book. ( )

The third-person perspective skitters around quite a bit, which makes it difficult to tell sometimes whose eyes we're seeing the story through, but that's my only quibble, really, for Sapphique. In this volume, Catherine Fisher continues the tale begun in Incarceron with the same clear, vivid prose and, in my opinion, a stronger plot. I knew more or less exactly what would happen in the first book, but Sapphique kept me guessing to the very end and concludes with a bittersweet touch perfectly suited to the world Fisher has created.

I gave this 2 stars, but Marty gave it 5 stars, so it averages to a 3.5. ( )
