This is a worthwhile series, but taken all together is nearly 1600 pages. It is not completely satisfying, but it is a real ending (unlike everything else prior.) She has to convince her society that their stable world would be better if they allowed it change.Īt the same time Donald and his sister are working behind the scenes in Silo 1 to help Jules and her people. Mayor Jules has discovered the other silo and has made it back. In Dust Howley is bringing it all back together and wrapping of the story. We found out in Shift the plan for the silos and how they were created. The stories are set in underground silos after our world has been destroyed. If you have not read any of these, then this review won’t make sense. The final book (thinking of Wool Omnibus as book 1, Shift Omnibus as book 2 and Dust as book 3) provides a satisfying conclusion. (Collected they are almost 700 pages, but really are one book in three parts.) Then in 20 Howey wrote three segments that provided back story to the Wool series. Originally just conceived of as a 50 pages short story, Howey quickly wrote four more short stories that rounded out the original story into a full length book. Hugh Howey broke into internet fame just three years ago when he published his short story Wool. Links to my reviews of the earlier books are at the bottom of the page. Reposting this 2014 review because this book, and the two earlier collections that made up the trilogy are all on sale for $2.99 each on kindle ( Wool Omnibus and Shift).
