Why is Hugh Howey not more well known? I was so completely enthralled by "Sand", I cried out in despair when I realized I had reached the end.

I picked this sweet little book up just after I finished the Sylo trilogy and couldn’t get into it. A year or so later and I just devoured it! Such a lovely imagination this author has, and something tenderhearted about his work, despite it being post-apocalyptic.
Really a lovely book.

I really liked the writing and thought the world building was great. I was kinda surprised that none of the characters changed that much - no one really went through an arc during the book.
Low 4 just cause it was enjoyable and I really wanted to know what happened. Maybe the series gets better.

Hugh Howey creates another interesting world and populates it with characters I cared about.

I enjoyed this. Would like to have had more, maybe split it up the same as he did the Silo series, there is definitely more story here. Give me more! lol

I was really looking forward to another long work by Hugh Howey. I love the Molly Fyde and Wool books, and bought this the day it came out. It did not disappoint. It, like Wool, is a post-apocalyptic story, but the circumstances a vastly different. This is a darker reality, and the characters and language reflect the grittiness and violence in this destroyed world.
I did feel that the ending left a lot of questions unanswered. I hope this means that there is more to come, but even if there isn't more, I am happy with the overall hopefulness that the story concluded with. We are left to imagine the characters moving on and living (better?) lives.
