I can only say, keep reading. The Silo series characters and the world they live in only grow more compelling in this book.

Minor: Gun violence, Cursing, and Adult/minor relationship

“Without the silo, she would be a skull on a hill looking blankly to the cloud-filled skies.”
Spoiler
I told myself if Lukas died I would cry so you can already infer that I cried because of this book. He loves Jules so much and to have him go the way that he did was so brutal. Why can’t Jules have love in her life without losing it in terrible ways?Spoiler
Wonder why Anna never switched the argon out of all the silos instead of just 17, because imagine if 18 were saved.Spoiler
I like that Donald brought down what he helped to create to allow the other silos a chance outside. I like to think that the group that made it went back to the other Silos and told them what they needed to do to get out.Spoiler
Had to reread the passage about seven times trying to convince myself that a grown man DIDN’T marry Elise but nope that’s what happened, wish Jimmy had shot that man in the face.Graphic: Body horror, Murder, Injury/Injury detail, Blood, Medical content, Violence, Grief, Death, Chronic illness, and Fire/Fire injury
Moderate: Death, Gun violence, Pregnancy, Religious bigotry, Grief, Kidnapping, Medical trauma, Child death, Excrement, Mental illness, and Pandemic/Epidemic
Minor: Pedophilia
For the pedophilia content warning - it's that a small child is tricked/forced into marrying a like 30 yo man but she's saved about thirty minutes later and nothing else happens to her.
