So throughout the book, the glove passes back and forth as various characters snatch it from various others, shouting “My Precious!” No wait, wrong story. Somehow the glove will break down the barrier between the Prison and the Outside, allow the prisoners to escape, and do all sorts of other things we don’t know about but of which we should be very, very afraid. All of them are struggling to get the magical glove of the mysterious Sapphique, who is a possibly real or possibly just legendary being who actually escaped from the prison. The Prison Warden, as well as Finn’s oathbrother Keiro, and the girl Attia, are stuck on the Inside. In Sapphique, which takes place four months after Incarceron, Finn and Claudia are on the Outside of the Prison (part of which has now turned into a sentient being). ![]() ![]() Sapphique is actually is a bit less trippy than Incarceron until you get to the end, at which time it is evident that only by taking LSD or the equivalent will it all become clear (or you won’t care if it isn’t, so it doesn’t matter).

I broke this self-imposed rule for this book, I had heard a few mumblings on Twitter about a book which if you liked Burial Rites and The Glass Woman would be one that you wouldn’t want to miss, Burial Rites is one of my favourite books ever, so instantly my books senses were all a tingle and I knew I had to get my hands on it. There are books which sometimes you know will be your kind of book, so I will let you into a little secret I rarely ask for books from publishers, I am on bloggers lists but I tend not to ask for a book directly. ![]() ![]() ![]() One night Finch, Selena, and her friends accidentally summon a carnivorous creature of immense power in the depths of the school. ![]() But despite Selena's suspicion, she feels drawn to Finch and has a sinking feeling that from now on the two will be inexplicably linked to one another.

But something monstrous, and ancient, and terrifying, wouldn't let her drown.
