Scenes with Shirly felt just like scenes with Courtneee. I was impressed that Wool had a strong female protagonist, but in Dust another female protagonist is brought in that acts no different than Juliette. Even Solo, the most unique character due to his circumstances, acted just like everyone else. I never at once felt that any of the characters had any specific qualities or traits attached to them. The dialogue is well written and realistic, but the words that a character says could just as well be said by any other character. One thing that's bothered me not just about this novel but the series as a whole is the lack of character diversity.
Throughout the whole novel I felt an overwhelming sense of dread, thinking there'd be no way there would be a happy conclusion. The story continues seamlessly from where SHIFT and WOOL left off and contains many tense moments that glue your eyes to the page. It's as tremendously well-written as the previous books when it comes to storytelling. Howey once again does a great job of immersing you in the underground world of the silo and its inhabitants, making their struggles seem so real and periodically making me feel claustrophobic. This review is mostly spoiler-free, and spoilers will be tagged/hidden. This one, however, left me a bit disappointed. I've recommended it to numerous friends and have a signed copy of it on my bookshelf. The Wool Omnibus was one of my favorite books of all time. Such a simple phrase that is loaded with information and instantly creates a detailed image of the juxtaposition between the forbidden outside world and life in the silo.Giving the finale to the Silo series a three star rating was not easy, as I've rated the previous books much higher.
… stared out at the dead world… low rolling hills stood, a pretty shade of brown like coffee mash with just the right amount of pig’s milk. You get a rundown of how the silo functions and how the people live there, which paints a clearer picture of the situation for the folks in the post-apocalyptic community. One of the most interesting aspects of the series for me was it’s setting. A revolution might be brewing… But how can one accomplish a revolution from hundreds of stories deep? The hopeful people, the optimistic ones believe that their only escape is to venture outside of the silo. Others however, think that is it time to move things along and make a better life for themselves and the future members of the silo. The older generation are set in their ways, believing that you shouldn’t fix what isn’t broken. You follow the story of your main cast as they try to navigate the complex world of taboo, the old ways and the new generation, who are seeking change. The Silo TV series is set to start on May 5th 2023 on Apple TV.
