![]() There is a detailed, fully defined world here for us to explore, and I wish we’d been given more time to see and appreciate it. As I’ve said, I am a huge action fan, so I can understand the primacy of the narrative drive in this type of story, and I understand this is meant to be a light, escapist read, but I almost feel like Snyder isn’t doing herself enough credit. There are a lot of interesting levels to this story – the aftermath of a breakdown in the social order, the religious beliefs of such an insular society, the truth at the heart of legends – and I can’t help feeling like the narrative kept rushing me past all these fascinating ideas. ![]() Snyder books recently, I find myself wishing I had more time to catch my breath. ![]() Picking up about twelve weeks after the events of Inside Out, Maria once again takes us on a non-stop ride, as Trella has to unravel the truth behind a spree of bombings that threaten the lives of everyone Inside. Snyder delivers in spades with Outside In. But then we learned that there’s outside and then there is Outside. I thought that meant I was off the hook, and could go off on my own again-while still touching base with Riley, of course. And finding that led to a major rebellion-between worker scrubs like me and the snobby uppers who rule our world. That a whole world exists beyond this cube we live in. Okay, I did prove that there’s more to Inside than we knew. ![]() WARNING! This review contains SPOILERS for Inside Out. ![]()
