There's a lot I like about how this series wraps up, but the tension and plot of this book relies far too often on situations that could be solved with a 15 second conversation. I'm willing to roll with maybe one instance of characters getting interrupted before they can say the important thing, or characters refusing to listen as someone tries to explain, or a character refusing to explain because the other character obviously knows what he did (untrue). But the book would be half as long without these. It just became intensely frustrating.

This is a beautiful and heart-rending conclusion to the trilogy. It gets dark in the middle and I found myself having to slow down and sprinkle in romance novels and other light reads to counterbalance the despair and uncertainty.
I can only say, keep reading. The Silo series characters and the world they live in only grow more compelling in this book.
