A tense, post-apocalyptic thriller. I starting the book after seeing the advertisement for Silo on Apple TV and it was totally worth the read. It got a bit slow in the middle, but picked up nicely at the end. I found the plot unpredictable, and to the last page I was never sure how things would turn out. The world building was intriguing and in-depth.

This is an amazing read, and I am so happy I took a chance and read it. There are so many lovable (and unlovable) characters!

this took me forever to get through but that says nothing about how excellent it is!!!! this universe is so interesting, i love speculative fiction and this is a take that’s new to me…. lucas x juliette forever .. i will be reading the sequel ASAP!!! 

- normalized human composting 
- successful circular economy 
- anticapitalist riots
- secret taboo relationships 

what more could u want 

cw for asphyxiation, running out of air, drowning, claustrophobia etc
