I was introduced to the world of dystopia this past year and was suprised I enjoyed the genre so much. The possibilities of what could be are endless with the dystopian genre because there are no restrictions on the imagination. The author made the characters relatable and interesting.
I love that the main character, a young girl named Trella, is overcoming such adverse conditions. She is adventurous and determined which really draws me to her character. Her loyalty to her best friend was a trait I admired as well.
From the author's description of the pipes I could picture myself as Trella crawling through them between the levels. I feel the story flowed at just the right pace with some twists and turns that I didn't expect. I'm looking forward to reading the sequel "Outside In" to see what direction the story takes. If you're young at heart this YA novel will be a fun, adventurous read. I recommend this book.

I feel the exact same way about dystopia! It all started with The Hunger Games and now there are just so many out there -- but I love how endless the possibilities are too that makes every single one different! :) And this one sounds great!
ReplyDeleteAwesome review, Mamabunny! :)
I've become a real fan of dystopia as well! I've heard nothing but praise for Synder's books (in particular, the Study Series), although I haven't had an opportunity yet to read them myself. I have this one on my TBR list as well!
ReplyDeleteNice review!
I like dystopian books- and haven't read this one. From your review it sounds quite interesting. I am curious about it now!
