Every bit as good as the first book, well worth the read! I will say the complex, twisting plot can be confusing at times, which can lead to frustration. A lot of questions are also left unanswered at the end of the book. I do wish there had been a third in the series. Regardless, both books are very enjoyable, and it's fantastic to find out what happens at the end of the series.
Such a confusing and interesting story. It sounds like this is the end, but who knows?
I was dreading this book. I read [b:Incarceron 332775 Incarceron (Incarceron, #1) Catherine Fisher http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51baJ9ujjcL.SL75.jpg 323310] and was highly disappointed but I knew I wanted to read Sapphique just to finish out the short series. I was actually pleasantly surprised by this book, though I still wouldn't read it again or recommend it to many people. The constant switching back and forth between the prison and the outside world again made me angry. The perspective shifts were often jolting and didn't occur at logical places. It was better than Incarceron but still not great.

I love the idea. The whole world within a world thing was fascinating but there were so many questions at the end of this book. I am fine with an open ending but this was just ridiculous you never find out the answers to anything. Why did the Warden do the crazy things he did? What happened to Sapphique, who was he, where did he go? Who was Riz, why was he important (for a seemingly inconsequential character he had a lot to do with the end)? Was Finn really Giles? Who is Attia? Why did Keiro become the Apprentice? What's up with Claudia and Jared? I honestly could go on and on with questions that apparently will never have any answers because this was a two book series. That is fine, I can accept a two book series IF a few questions were answered. I gave it two stars because the idea was fascinating I just wish I actually got an answer or two.
Wow, I hard a hard time getting into this series at first. But now I just finished it at 11:30pm after a long hard day at work. When I first got home I waned to go strait to bed but after starting this book again I just couldn't stand waiting until later to hear the end.
