I normally love a dystopia/post-apocalyptic story, filled with engaging characters and an interesting plotline.

Unfortunately, for me, this one fell flat. The storyline didn't pull me in right away (or ever, if I'm being brutally honest) and I didn't connect with the characters or their plight to escape Inside.

I was just determined to not have another DNF so I persevered and finished it last night.

I've also tried reading one of the author's other works and I couldn't get into that either so I think this will be the last and only book I read by Maria V. Snyder

Deep meaningful situations
I find Dmitry one of the best authors I've ever read. His type of writing keeps you in the story terribly. He's way to easy to read do you end up lost in pages for hours not even realising it. There's no hard bits to go through, just one amazing idea of post apocalyptic world and human kind trying to deal with its consequences. Next to the great thought of the system of an underground survivers, there are plenty of moments where the author is focusing on human kind and it's weaknesses, twitches and their behaviour.
