Secure Your Copy Inside Out Formulated By Maria V. Snyder Accessible As Paper Copy

is one of my longest owned unread books and I really wish that Id gotten to it sooner because it was great! It wasnt perfect and definitely contained the usual tropes that youd expect from a dystopian novel.
But I still really enjoyed it!

Its been a long time since I read a dystopian that evoked feelings similar to when I read The Hunger Games, Legend and Divergent the series that I consider to be the “classic dystopians”.
This book came pretty damn close to doing that, The author did an amazing job at creating high stakes suspense and tension and maintaining that throughout the book.


I really enjoyed the unique and interesting setting of this book, The concept of how time was measured a bit confusing at first but definitely something cool and different.
Finding out that weve only barely scratched the surface and theres so much more to discover about this world only makes me more excited for the second book.


There were quite a few plot twists some of which I found predictable but that ending completely threw me and gave the potential for the series to go in a wholly different direction.
Especially since the controlling rulers were already overthrown and changes to the societal structures were already implemented in this book.
Theres still potential for plenty of conflict in the newly established governing system but also potential to explore the unknown world of the Outside.
I loved Poison Study, so I decided to try this book, Meh

What I liked: The story idea was original, the world building was good, and there was at least one time that I was truly surprised during a "twist", which is awesome.


What I hated: The mindnumbingly detailed descriptions of Trella's travels through the pipes and insides of the giant cube.
I would say that/ths of the book is pages and pages of describing where she is going next.
I just couldn't take it, Inside Out is definitely totally different from Synders Study series, but set in a fascinating new world that I was drawn into from the very beginning.


Inside is an intriguing place, Divided into four levels, it is the home of the uppers and lowers, also called scrubs, and a wonder of modern technology.
Especially the scrubs suffer from shortage of space and the constant presence of the Pop Cops, who ensure that everything runs smoothly and according to the Controllers orders.


Trella is a scrub and works as a cleaner in the pipes of Inside, She mostly keeps to herself and wishes for only one thing: to have some privacy and to be left alone with hopes for escape and a better life Outside.
But then a new prophet claims he knows the location of a Gateway, and the only thing Trella wants to do is prove him wrong.
But soon afterwards, she finds herself caught up in the beginnings of a revolution and all her beliefs about herself and her fellow Insiders are challenged

The first half of the

book is a bit slow, but I thought that this was more than compensated by the vivid and detailed descriptions of Inside and Trellas life there.

Trella was a fascinating heroine, Introverted and disillusioned at the beginning, she begins to make new friends and to trust and appreciate those close to her slowly.
You could watch her grow throughout the novel and abandon some of her prejudices, but she always stayed true to herself.

The romance plot was very small, but felt genuine to me, However, I found the development a bit too hurried at the end, Snyder could definitely have left some of that open for the next volume,
The secondary characters were sometimes less developed, but intriguing nevertheless, I liked that you could never truly know if somebody was a dedicated rebel or a traitorous spy.
It kept up a constant suspense,
The ending totally took me by surprise, Inside Out definitely has left many questions open that I hope will be further explored in sitelinkOutside In, the sequel coming out in.


All in all, the only complaints I have: Sometimes, solutions to problems came rather easily with the help of new inventions or the discovery of some computer data, which I found a bit unrealistic and often a little hard to follow.

Also, the heroine's voice was just a tad too young for me, makng this almost middle grade material although Trella is around.

Nevertheless, I'll be reading the sequel,
It's been a while since i finished a book in only two days, I just couldn't put this book down! The story had me from the beginning, and there were some seriously awesome twist and turns.

I really loved this book! Everyone who enjoys scifi or dystopian will definitly enjoy this book too.
Read it! :D
Trella is een sloof, Een nobody. En net als de duizenden andere sloven die opeengepakt op de onderste niveaus van Binnen verblijven, doet ze het vuile werk voor de oppers, die boven in luxe leven.
Maar Trella is ook de Koningin van de Buizen, die tijdens het schoonmaken van het ventilatiesysteem op plaatsen komt waar niemand anders ooit een voet zet.
Als de Opper Cops erachter komen zal ze gerecycled worden, Maar nieuwsgierigheid is een sterke drijfveer, en er gaan geruchten dat er een uitweg is uit Binnen.


Als Cogon, haar enige vriend, wordt opgepakt, kan ze nog maar één ding voor hem doen.
Zorgen dat ze de geheimzinnige Poort vindt, de mythische uitgang naar Buiten, wat dat dan ook mag zijn.
Trella vindt steeds meer aanwijzingen voor het bestaan van de Poort, maar ze doet ook een andere ontdekking: ze staat niet alleen in haar pogingen.
De sloven zijn klaar voor een opstand, en zelfs sommige oppers blijken anders te zijn dan ze dacht.
Zoals Riley, een jongen die al snel verwarrend veel voor haar gaat betekenen, . . .stars

“When the effort fails, is it worth the cost”

Inside Out is captivating read, with some surprising twists in the storyline, full of interesting scifi elements if you're into that sort of thing, if not you'll struggle to get into it at the beginning.
Like me, I have to say, Characters were ok, but not truly remarkable I hope that the second book will change that, There is little bit of romance, but no love triangle and it's not getting into the way of the story like in lot of Ya.


It's more of scifi, but the story has some elements of Hunger Games.
For example
“For the first time, I was the center of attention, Everyone watched me as if I were a bomb, Would I explode and cause a disaster or would I pop and cause a miracle”

This is the type of it's not you, it's me read.
I'm not the biggest fan of Scifi or Dystopia, I guess, Except for Hunger Games and The Lunar Chronicles, I can't recall any book from this genre that I actually love.
Although, I'd definitely appreciate if you recommend me some of your favourites,

I still remain huge fan of Snyder's books and will definitely read the sequel soon.
I blame you, cliffhanger!

“No hope, is worse than fear, ”.
