Meanwhile, in Silo 1, Donald and Charlotte continue their covert operation and are, unsurprisingly, found out when Thurman makes a reappearance. While Mechanical workers dig, she heads outside to take some air and soil samples. She immediately gets it going in the direction of Silo 17 to rescue Solo and kids. To give a brief overview (careful, here's where the spoilers are!), Juliette opens the story by finding that elusive digging machine in Silo 18. With 50 or 60 pages left, I still had no idea how he would close out the trilogy. And yet, he also gave moments where I was sure the story could not end for ages yet. I simply could not understand how he had hundreds of pages left. There were quite a few moments in Dust when Howey had me convinced the story had to be coming to a climax. The story in Dust moves consistently between Silos 18, 17, and 1 as the isolated world get closer and closer to converging. The story picks up at the simultaneous ends of Wool and Shift. What a thoughtful author, am I right?ĭespite having finished Shift not even two weeks previously, I did struggle getting into the beginning of Dust. Thanks for the awesome birthday present, Hugh Howey. In a perfectly timed coincidence, the final book, Dust, was released on my birthday. I finished Shiftat the start of this month. After reading Woolin June at a coworker's suggestion, I was hooked. It's no secret that I've become obsessed with Hugh Howey's Silo trilogy this summer.
