![]() 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. ![]() Giving the finale to the Silo series a three star rating was not easy, as I've rated the previous books much higher. ![]()
