Shift by Hugh Howey
4.0
It's been ages since I read Wool, so Shift by Hugh Howey might have suffered a bit from me having forgotten plenty of bits and pieces.
I loved Wool, but only enjoyed Shift. I don't need a lot of action or suspense to book me, I love books like Becky Chambers or Andy Weir. So this being more a flashback and "how did we get here?" and the people than any actual plot progression was not my problem. However I just didn't really click with the characters as much as I should have, and that made Shift feel a bit long at times. I still live the world and idea (though not everything made sense for me), and I read it in just two days. So it's not a bad book, I just didn't enjoy it just as much as the first.
