Picking up right where Inside Out left off, Trella has now incited the revolution and stepped back from it, uncertain of her role in the new order. Not so much uncertain, really, as unwilling: she's not cut out for committee meetings, but politically it's doing a lot of harm to morale Inside for her to go back to her usual exploring ways. A ton of conspiratorial plot twists (I can trust this person! No I can't! Oh, wait, he's actually a double-agent! Whoops, triple-agent!) are wearying, and the periodic infodumps don't help, either. (On the bright side, this does get better after the "Introduction" chapter, which is a quick rehash of the events of the first book, culminating in "I won't tell you everything; if you want to know what already happened search the computer for this file: ISBN: [first book's ISBN].") 
 The first was only borderline dystopian; this will still get the "dystopia" label just because it follows along. If pressed I could make an argument for Rebuilding a New Society, but a claim like that is on pretty shaky ground. I probably should have put off reading this one once it was clear it didn't have the scope I was looking for, but even with the blah writing I still wanted to know how Trella extricated herself from the fine mess she'd made.
