Yes, really, 5 stars! It was excellent! Fans of Hugh Howey's WOOL trilogy, you've gotta read this!

Painful to read. This book needs some major editing. In fact, I doubt that it was even proofread.

An amazing follow on written by an old friend...

Amazingly enough this book spiked my attention out of the blue. I haven’t read any of Hugh Howey’s books in ages. When I found this I also noticed that I knew the author personally, friend or not this was an amazing delving into the Silo World. Thanks for taking my back Old friend!

Her writing is ever so slightly different from Hugh Howey's, but this is a believable sister series to WOOL. Believable characters, solid plot. Going to pick up #2.

I really liked this! Wool has become one of my ALL TIME favorite series so it was fun to dive back in to a different silo and watch things play out.

So this was... bad. Not like offensive or anything but just very fanfiction turned in for a creative writing assignment bad. I think I got it for free or cheap and didn't realize that while Hugh Howey gave his blessing for it to be written, he didn't really have anything else to do with the spinoff series. I think there is much better fanfiction for Wool available on A03.

I feel bad giving it such a low rating because I'm sure Christy is a huge fan who was really wants to expand the Wool universe, but I couldn't find anything I can honestly say I liked about this. Flat characters, zero tension, and just bad writing. She uses the phrase "it sounded like her voice had been dipped in sarcasm" at one point. What?

The only fanfic I enjoy is Wool fanfic, no matter how trite.
