It seemed like a good idea at the time. Take all the criminals and put them somewhere out of the way. Give them a whole new world equipped with everything they could ever need. Then add in an all-seeing intelligence named Incarceron to watch over them. It was a great experiment, and a failed one. Now the prisoners struggle to survive knowing that at any moment they might be killed or disfigured at Incarceron's whim. Meanwhile those in power on the outside have done their best to trap the world in the past--forcing everyone to act and dress in Era. Not everyone is happy with these restrictions, including the daughter of the warden. When she makes contact with a boy in her father's prison they are determined to change both worlds.
This novel is set in a future that is trapped in the past so there’s extrapolated technologies as well as frilly dresses and drama at court. The prison makes a deliciously dark and formidable opponent for our intrepid protagonists to face and a great dystopian setting. The characters are very well developed with unique voices.There's plenty of meaty bits to ponder as well as fast-paced action scenes.
