I enjoyed this book for similar reasons to why I enjoyed Wool. Howey is good at setting up realistic dystopian worlds founded on fragments and memories of old ones (for example, in Sand the major settlements are named after the places that used to exist there; Danvar is Denver, Colorado).
My main quibble with the book is that I don’t think it was long enough. Unlike the Silo series, which I felt couldn’t be sustained over three books, I thought this one was a bit too rushed, especially towards the end.
