The Silo Saga Omnibus: Wool, Shift, Dust, and Silo Stories by Hugh Howey, Hugh Howey
4.0
Writing the review on the saga.
I love the world. The first book takes us on a bit of a tour, and has us wondering who the main characters may end up being. The fact that it initially was a set of short stories explains that a bit.
That setup really helps set the stage, and then get us wondering why we're here.
Shift then comes in and gives us the background, while Dust rolls the two together as we draw to a conclusion.
I was left a little wanting at the end...
- What about Silo 40 - are they there? Did they get out? Are they out in the world?
- My expectation is that a solid half of the silos are still running at the time of the book ending... what about other silos? Do they get released? What happens to silos after Silo 1 goes down.. computer systems flake out? Nobody on the other end of the line for IT... etc.
I can imagine that this is why Mr. Howey opens the world up to other writers - I have not read the sil0 stories yet, maybe some of that is in there before other authors weigh in.
Really glad I read the series - great combination of writing talent and a great world!
