Review Detail

I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was very different to the other type of books that Maria V. Snyder writes. She usually writes ones with people with magical powers and set in a mythical world. This one is a dystopian, and set in the far future, in space.

I think I preferred this one more than Inside Out, as I think that the idea of the people from Outside coming in caught my attention. I liked how Trella found herself the leader of a revolution, a position she didn't want. This reminded me a lot of The Hunger Games, for some odd reason, but I think I prefer The Hunger Games, by far.

I think the characters develop a lot more in this book. I thought the relationship between Riley and Trella was no way near as good as the one between Valek and Yelena, in the Study Series. I loved this book, though. I think Maria V. Snyder is an amazing writer, I and I wish she would hurry up and finish writing Scent of Magic.
