Outside In by Maria V. Snyder

Something from Outside wants in.

Even though I enjoyed this book I'm left wishing that Maria V. Snyder had chosen to begin a new project rather than revisit the world of Inside Out.  That said, I think it was admirable of her to tackle the very challenging question of "What happens after the revolution?" that so many similar young adult novels never address.  Seeing how difficult it is to hold people together and to prevent similar revolutions once one has been successful made for an enlightening read.  This book is all about Trella's growth as she comes to realize that her life has changed in irreversible ways and that she must own up to responsibilities and duties that she'd never dreamed would be hers.  If you enjoyed Inside Out, then this is a must read.  Otherwise, let's look forward to something completely fresh and new from Maria V. Snyder soon.
