Yes, I definitely agree that the rapid switches of POV get frustrating (particularly if you are much more interested in one subplot than the others, as I was) and that it's maddening to have so much unresolved sexual tension floating around with barely even a hint that it ever will be or CAN be resolved.
Still, I just adore the world and characters of INCARCERON and SAPPHIQUE more than anything else of Fisher's I've read. I never really warmed to the SNOW-WALKER books (heh) and although I enjoyed the Oracle trilogy, it didn't hit all my imaginative buttons the same way that Incarceron does.
I really, really, really hope that Catherine Fisher is wrong about not writing that third book. Because I didn't even feel that the plot was properly resolved by book 2, either. DO NOT MAKE ME WRITE FANFIC JUST TO EASE MY PAIN, MS. FISHER. :D
And thank you for reading my Susan essay! I'm very glad you enjoyed it.
