Walls have ears, 
 Doors have eyes, 
 Trees have voices, 
 Beasts tell lies, 
 Beware the rain, 
 Beware the snow, 
 Beware the man 
 you think you know.

 Imagine a book was amazing. A brilliant blend of dystopia and utopia. 
 Imagine a main character locked in a dystopian prison, Finn, who wasn't good, or bad, but a strange combination of both. He was loyal, he was merciful, he was pitiful and caring in some ways. He had a conscience. But, at the same time, he's killed, he's tricked, he's kidnapped, and he's used people. He needs to survive, but he can't, unless he's ruthless. He had to be. 
 Imagine another main character, locked in a utopian prison, Claudia, who wasn't spoiled, or abused, but a strange combination of both. She had everything anyone could want, she would grow to rule the Realm, she would always have all of the power, and she was rather selfish, haughty, and bad-tempered. But, at the same time, she'd been lied to mercilessly about the things she thought she could be assured were true, she was caught up in a plan that she was afraid of, and almost unwilling to follow, and she was confined to rules that shunned progress; trapped in a bit more subtle, but just as horrible prison. 
 Now they have to help each other to Escape. 
 Imagine Incarceron. 
 Winding through betrayals, trust, brotherhood, fear, pain, lies, and delusion, this book caught me immediately, and I was unable to stop reading. 
 I can't wait for Sapphique!
