Finished reading: Dust by Hugh Howey 📚
This book series and its ending remind me of another series I read at the age of 13-14 by the Austrian author Ursula Poznanski called Eleria in which humanity also makes the planet uninhabitable and lives in so-called spheres that aren’t too different from silos. Lots of effort was put into concealing the reasons behind the uninhabitability of the Earth. Obviously, a reason was given, just not the truth. Were that trilogy not in German, I believe it would’ve blown up just as much as the Silo series.
Rating: 4.5/5

Finished reading: Shift by Hugh Howey 📚
I love how this book served as a retelling of the first from a different perspective. We kind of got the full story with how Solo was discovered by Jules. We also got some info on how he lived up until he met her.
It’s like there were two opponents in this entire story: the silo’s populace and its managers, the silo’s managers and their managers, an intruder and the intruded. And the first book only told half the story.
Rating: 4.5/5

Finished reading: Wool by Hugh Howey 📚
This book feels like a manual for how this world is being run at the moment. The turn of events and the move of rich people clutching their purses evermore so tightly is going to end in a devastating war for which the perpetrators will be well equipped with. And they won’t protect anyone except to further pursue their agenda.
It scares me to think that all we are and all we do is one Nazi project away from being erased.
