"The idea of saving anything was folly, a life especially. No life had ever been truly saved, not in the history of mankind. They were merely prolonged. Everything comes to an end."Readers of Hugh Howey's Silo series are by now prepared for a certain degree of bleakness, but there are moments of downright agonizing despair in Dust, its final installment. Moments that made me cry out to my lodger "Who does Hugh think he is, George R. R. Effing Martin?" to which my lodger replied "No, becauseOh yes! What a satisfying end to the enjoyably unique and imaginative Silo series. Would I prefer it to continue? Of course, but it's always best to leave them wanting more.My only complaint, and I do mean "only", is that the Audible.com version uses a reader who pronounces the word "palm" so oddly I found myself giggling every time the word was used. It's not a word in too common usage in our current culture, most people preferring "hand" or "grasp", but it became laughably obvious it is one of
Its a decent ending to a trilogy, but I really cant say Im fully satisfied with a finale. There are a lot of issues, which couldve been addressed, and a lot of questions left still unanswered. All in all, Ive enjoyed this book, but not as much as I've expected before starting it. There are problems with pacing, and the first , maybe even 1/3 of the book is outright boring and too casual to withhold a yawn. Its not a case as sometimes happens with sequels, that the series quality is always going
Also on Booklikes (in the same length and format): http://headspinningfromvagueness.book...I love twists in my fiction. But sometimes a twist isn't the most important thing to have in a story. When the twist is all that a story revolves around, that it doesn't survive without the twist, that twist becomes nothing more than a pivoting gimmick. The reason I point this out right now is because I want to indicate that while the ending to this Wool trilogy is predictable, it is still entertaining and
What a satisfying conclusion to the Silo series. The first volume, Wool, introduced the world of the Silo and the strict authoritarian society that lived inside. Anyone questioning this reality was ousted into the deadly wastelands. We also me the wonderful character Juliette, a superior engineer who is recruited into being police chief of the silo. What she finds from a position of authority get's her ousted, where she discovers more about the Silo and it's purpose. Book two, Shift, travels
Giving the finale to the Silo series a three star rating was not easy, as I've rated the previous books much higher. The Wool Omnibus was one of my favorite books of all time. I've recommended it to numerous friends and have a signed copy of it on my bookshelf. This one, however, left me a bit disappointed. This review is mostly spoiler-free, and spoilers will be tagged/hidden.Let me start with the positives. Howey once again does a great job of immersing you in the underground world of the silo
SpoilersNot as engrossing as Wool or Shift the plot, the mystery, the characters, and the relationships lost most of their appeal, they just didn't captivate me like they did in the previous two books. I have to say, Dust was mostly disappointing I didn't hate it, I actually quite liked a lot of things, but overall it didn't meet my expectations.-The first half was rather dull, nothing much seemed to happen. Juliette's mission to dig to Silo 17 dragged on for ages, and Donald + Charlotte's arc
