If you like dystopian books, then this series is a definite must-read! Read more I also really liked how Howey wrapped up the ending nice and neat so you weren't left with any cliffhangers or a thousand questions either. How the society is structured within the Silos is just brilliant.
What's really special about this series I think is the setting and the world building. : ) Yay! It started out where Wool left off so I took to it immediately and finished it the same day. I was hoping though, that Dust wouldn't be anything like it and was written more like Wool and it was. I wouldn't recommend skipping Shift though because you do get a lot of the backstory which you need to know to fully appreciate the whole story. It was written in a different style then Wool and it contained a lot of flashbacks to older times which didn't do anything for me at all. Then I read the second book, Shift, and hated it. I fell in love with the first book in this series, Wool, when I read it. And while the plotting is good, I still don't fully understand the plans of the conspirators of the silo- I guess their plan is quite complex, and I had trouble following it.Still great overall though. The book is unnecessarily long, and I wanted to skip sections to get to what was happening. Meanwhile, Donald in Silo 1 finds himself in a position to change things and tries to plot a way out of the mess that will leave nearly everyone dead in the end.My biggest problem with the last two books, and really it's an issue in book 1 too but I didn't feel it as much with the newness of the concept, is that there's just too much padding. The second book, Shift, is mostly a prequel, explaining how we got here (but leaving lots of holes) and following Donald, an unwitting co-conspirator and then a manager in Silo 1, as he struggles with his role and whether to betray the leaders of the project.Here we pick up the story as Juliette attempts to free her people from the tyranny of the Pact that binds them all and keeps everyone locked away in these silos, unaware of each other's existence. Wool told the story of Juliette and her adventures in Silo 18 and then 17, as she begins to unwind the great conspiracy that has landed our characters in this hell. The story remains very compelling, and the fascinating concept developed in "Wool" remains fascinating.
