Inside Out - Maria V Snyder

Goodreads description: Keep Your Head Down.

Don't Get Noticed.

Or Else.

I'm Trella. I'm a scrub. A nobody. One of thousands who work the lower levels, keeping Inside clean for the Uppers. I've got one friend, do my job and try to avoid the Pop Cops. So what if I occasionally use the pipes to sneak around the Upper levels? The only neck at risk is my own…until I accidentally start a rebellion and become the go-to girl to lead a revolution.

It is an absolute understatement to say that I adore this book. It's one of the best books I've read this year.

Trella is a very engaging character. She lives a very isolated life with only one friend which immediately created a sympathetic character. Having finished the novel I still want to know more about Trella.

The setting for the novel is not something I've ever encountered before so there is quite a lot of description to start the novel but it is necessary to understand what happens throughout the novel. This is the most original part of the novel and is completely riveting.

The interaction between the secondary characters is excellently written. I really feel Trella's connection to these people and the relationships are very believable.

Maria V Snyder has completely outdone herself with this book. I am a massive fan of her work and this book is no exception. I am so excited for Outside In
