Much like the first book I was at the edge of my seat at the end of every chapter as the mystery continued to unfold.
Content warning Yar there be spoilers here (not specific plot points but overall story things)
Yes I am very clever for that title.
Great follow up to Wool. Didn’t go where I thought it would - but glad Howey did what he did.
The edition I have had a nice afterword from the author and I appreciated the insight to his thought process for the plot.
I liked going back to see how it all ended up (or started?) where it did in Wool. Getting Solo’s story was fantastic. Finding out why the silos were made (fanatics!! Who’da think? Yes I’m being sarcastic there) was a good choice as well.
Looking forward to the rest of Juliette’s story. Interested to see if/when she meets Donald.
Content warning Mild ones, really, but maybe read the book first.
Not quite as compelling as the first, but man, still a mind-bender. Mild spoiler here is it does travel into the past. One of the things that makes "Wool" so good is it is entirely in the future. That provides the prose some latitude and that can help make or break a book when it starts to get into the awkward drama around social mechanics and institutions we are already familiar with. Anyway, before you read this write down the Silo numbers from wool, and the names of the key characters. Also don't look up anything online because spoilers abound.
