Wow. I felt like this one ended very unexpectedly, and sudden. On to the 5th one!

Howey writes some poetically beautiful lines. The action picks up in this on, and it's well done, but I prefer the sections that delve more into the psychology of the characters and what effect the discovery of the truth has on their psyches.

Wool, volume 4.

This went very fast; I guess volume 5 is the bulk of the omnibus. For all that, it's pretty eventful. Looking forward to volume 5.

Here is another impossible-to-put-down installment of the Silo Series! There were two things going on in this book that I just couldn't wait to know the outcome of...the impending uprising, and Jules's adventures in Silo 17. I usually consider myself to be a somewhat slow reader...I like to savor my books and make sure I read every word. This book though, I found myself flying through. It's like my eyes couldn't pass over and process the words as fast as my brain was wanting them to. I would start skimming so I could turn the page faster, then force myself to slow down and read more carefully so I wouldn't miss anything. Now if that doesn't make a great book, well then I don't know what does. I just can't recommend this series enough.

This was the best of the series so far. I like how they end with a cliffhanger that makes me feel like I HAVE to read the next one in the series.

The world we've been experiencing all along suddenly gets much larger in this installment. Here we find out much more about the silo system, how it is a fragile environment & what can happen when the citizens learn that they have been getting lied to all along. The simple knowledge that IT has been building suits that fail on purpose all along is enough for an uprising. The purpose driven folks of Mechanical discover that fact when one of their own ensures that their beloved Jules gets the good materials for her suit. The carefully constructed world in the silo begins to unravel faster & faster as a result.

More revelations came in this fourth book and others were hinted. I like Juliette and the depth of her character. This book was a little longer than the others and I felt like the author overexplained here and there. But it was enjoyable. I look forward to reading the last book!
