![]() ![]() Such a simple phrase that is loaded with information and instantly creates a detailed image of the juxtaposition between the forbidden outside world and life in the silo. … stared out at the dead world… low rolling hills stood, a pretty shade of brown like coffee mash with just the right amount of pig’s milk. You get a rundown of how the silo functions and how the people live there, which paints a clearer picture of the situation for the folks in the post-apocalyptic community. One of the most interesting aspects of the series for me was it’s setting. A revolution might be brewing… But how can one accomplish a revolution from hundreds of stories deep? The hopeful people, the optimistic ones believe that their only escape is to venture outside of the silo. Others however, think that is it time to move things along and make a better life for themselves and the future members of the silo. The older generation are set in their ways, believing that you shouldn’t fix what isn’t broken. You follow the story of your main cast as they try to navigate the complex world of taboo, the old ways and the new generation, who are seeking change. You might know I do not DNF almost ever, but this time I was buddy-reading this with my mom.Article Continues Below Advertisement Silo Series Summary I actually have a pretty good reason for that. Now you will say, Evelina, dear friend, WHY DID YOU NOT DNF? I could have saved so much more time (and brain cells) if that was just given to me in like 10 pages. Alright, I’ll give you that – there is the backstory. Half of it was a retelling of what happened in the first book, half told stuff about a guy I honestly don’t care to hear about, and intermingled in between all of that, there was maybe a little bit about how or why the silos were actually built. ![]() I know it will not remain in my mind at all, because, well, pretty much nothing happened. ![]() Unfortunately, I can’t find much more to say about this book. Shift though? What happens to the guy is so depressing, that if you have any empathy at all, like even the amount sea critters have, you will probably get sorely depressed from just touching the book, much less reading it. But it’s also uplifting in a way, cause they keep fighting. Second – okay, the first book is quite depressing. If I had to compare it with Wool, well, first of all, the main character is such a wimp that you can’t even. But it’s not just that! The plot dragged and dragged and dragged… I can’t think of a book that has tortured me quite so lately. Part of it was that it was a sequel to a mind-blowing book. This book has many very unfortunate factors that made me hate it. In fact, if that book had been a game, I would have rage quit. I don’t really know where to begin with this book, or frankly – IF I should begin at all, cause you can see I just gave it 1 star, which I pretty much never do, so you must be getting the vibe that not only did this book not satisfy me, it probably even enraged me. So am I surprised that Shift wasn’t really a charming sequel to Wool? So basically, I think we can draw the conclusion that you pretty much have to be J.K. In fact, please carry on in the comments! I would really love to find out what sequel drove you mad. (The sequel to Blood Red Road, Metro 2034…)Īnd I am sure you can carry on with this list to eternity. It is truly a sorry affair that most sequels just do not turn out right. Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ![]()
