Suddenly, the entire mythology that Howey had built for the silos had changed drastically. Where DUST started to crumble was when Juliette and company break through into Silo 17 and bring Solo and the kids over. At least, I did until I hit the middle of the book. We’re treated to life in the Silos again, relationships are flourishing, and you want to root for the characters. Juliette has discovered a digger which can claw through the earth and create a tunnel to Silo 17 where she had to leave behind her friends Solo and the kids. More on that later.ĭUST had a great start. Well, Charlotte isn’t boring but she’s a little redundant. Unfortunately, like toilet paper stuck to your shoe, we’re also reunited with Donald, Thurman, and Charlotte, the bland and boring characters of the second book. We’re reunited with Juliette, Lukas, and all the wonderful characters of the first book. Which is a shame because the beginning of DUST had wonderful promise. Each book progressively dismantles the mystery of the silos with answers that leave you saying, “oh. So should you read book three? In my honest opinion, if you only read WOOL then I suggest you ONLY read WOOL. To say that the expectations were high for books two and three would be a massive understatement. WOOL is an incredible and imaginative book and is definitely one of my favorites. I just want to say that despite the short comings of books two and three, I still enjoyed what Hugh Howey created as an indie author.

Where to start? Well, first as a disclaimer. Quite frankly, DUST doesn’t live up to the amazing foundation that the 1st book built. Did I say satisfying? I meant disappointing, uninteresting, and anti-climactic. It returns to the roots of the first book and gives us that final and satisfying conclusion we were all waiting for.
