I didn’t like it as much as “Wool”. It definitely suffers from Second Book Syndrome. Although I thought the story about Solo was interesting, I don’t think it added much to the book overall. I wanted to learn more about the Silos, the purpose, and Donald’s reason for existing and his character development/ goals. Instead, the ending was padded with a backstory of a character seen at the end of the first book. I understand he could come back in the next book, but I think Donald’s story was more important for this one.
