Sapphique, is the sequel to Catherine Fisher's rather popular book Incarceron (which is being made into a movie starring the Teen heart-throb and Wolf-boy Jake Lautner). The story follows Finn, who escaped from the prison Incarceron, is finding out that the outside Kingdom has its own set of problems. A totalitarian ruler, a crumbling kingdom, a secret society plotting a revolution, and on top of that Finn is being challenged as the legitimate heir to the throne. As the fight escalates outside, inside the prison Finn's friends Keiro and Attia are searching for a magical glove, which legend has it, it has the power to allow them to escape. The overlong book, is at times confusing and tiring. So many action sequences are crammed into the book you start to wonder, "how many times are the characters going to be attacked?" The story wraps up quickly which (annoyingly) leaves some things unanswered and leaves out some events that would have made a better story than what was in this leisurely paced book.
