Shifted My Expectations

4 žvaigždutės

Įspėjimas dėl turinio Yar there be spoilers here (not specific plot points but overall story things)

Yes I am very clever for that title.

Great follow up to Wool. Didn’t go where I thought it would - but glad Howey did what he did.

The edition I have had a nice afterword from the author and I appreciated the insight to his thought process for the plot.

I liked going back to see how it all ended up (or started?) where it did in Wool. Getting Solo’s story was fantastic. Finding out why the silos were made (fanatics!! Who’da think? Yes I’m being sarcastic there) was a good choice as well.

Looking forward to the rest of Juliette’s story. Interested to see if/when she meets Donald.

Don't know why people like this so much

3 žvaigždutės

Don't get me wrong, world building is good and Hugh Howey does a good job doing just that, but I didn't get hooked at all. I was looking forward to finishing it. I personally know people that loved it and were happy to start with the next book as soon as they finished this, but that wasn't me.

The story is just dragging along, nothing that exciting going on, the plot is also relatively unsurprising. I started this book and it read like I'm just going through the motions. It's probably just not my jam, but I have to admit, it's well written in a way. I can see what people might enjoy about it.

I am not able to really recommend it, but I can also not recommend against it. I guess my opinion on this is just not interesting.
