To me, it felt really outside of Juliette’s nature to do nothing for the others. But how long will that take? How many people will die trying to find the courage to rise up against the oppression of those in charge? How many people will do nothing because they continue to live in a crippling fear of the unknown outside world? The same world where they’ve watched their friends and family go out to clean, and never come back. It’s likely that eventually, some of them will make their way out. No one will be monitoring them anymore, interfering with their lives, manipulating their decisions. I know that Silo 1 was destroyed, and with it, the ability for someone to destroy them all with the press of a button. But the other part of me was screaming, “WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? WHAT ABOUT ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE IN THE OTHER SILOS?” How can they carry on with their newfound freedom with the knowledge of all of the potential suffering and fear happening all around them? The last few pages with Juliette and Courtnee drinking tea together while laying out under the stars filled me with a sense of justice and gladness for them, and also hope for their futures. It was wonderful to see the inhabitants of Silos 17 and 18 safely reach the outside and find the S.E.E.D waiting for them. I’ve been struggling with the end of Dust for weeks now. I think Dust bothers me so much because it left me with a lot of unanswered questions.īecause I’ve been dying to discuss these books with other readers, there are going to be ***major spoilers*** after the jump. It had the same style and tone as Dust though, and neither of them felt as authentic as Wool. Howey kept up the breakneck pace, and continued to deliver strong, memorable characters. There was a lot about Dust that worked really well.
The end of a series always has enormous expectations to fill, and I get a bit nervous anytime I’m reading a final installment. Dust was neither of those things.ĭust is the conclusion of the series, the end of the story, the last glimpse of these characters that I’ve grown to know and love so much. I was so excited to read Shift because it told the story of how the Silo came into being. (You can read my geek out here, so I won’t subject you to it again.) I loved it deep down in my bones, and it continues to haunt me weeks later. In Wool, Howey creates the world of the Silo. (Does anyone else do this when they finish a book?) But a few weeks have past now I’ve had some time to reflect on it, and I’m just not sure.
I enjoyed Dust a lot, and when I immediately finished it, I gave it a 4 crown rating in my head. I’m having some fixed feelings about the conclusion to the Silo Series.
What would you do if the fate of everyone you knew rested in your hands?Īnd the choices you made could lead to their salvation, or be the death of us all.
