Review
“The final book secures the status of the Wool trilogy as a modern masterpiece” Sunday Express “We’ve become obsessed with Hugh Howey’s silo story which is basically, and in fact has been called, the NEW Hunger Games. We can’t wait to sink our teeth into the final instalment.” Grazia Daily “It’s a dystopian gem.” macworld.com “Reviewers have compared his series to The Hunger Games … but it’s better written and more thought-provoking.” Guardian

About the Author
Hugh Howey spent eight years living on boats and working as a yacht captain for the rich and famous. It wasn’t until the love of his life carried him away from these vagabond ways that he began to pursue literary adventures, rather than literal ones. Hugh wrote and self-published his first adult novel, Wool, which won rave reviews and praise from readers. Dust is the final part of the trilogy. Hugh lives in Jupiter, Florida, with his wife Amber and their dog Bella.

I didn’t intend to read DUST so fast. I announced on Facebook that I’d set aside an hour to start reading it and smoke a cigar. I figured I’d take my time, read for an hour, and then get back to work. That isn’t what happened. But first let me tell you that I entered into my foray into the finale of Hugh Howey’s enormously popular Silo Saga with some trepidation. I was afraid. Not for myself, but for Hugh… The excitement and hopes for this book would be enormous. I was afraid that regardless of how good and serviceable DUST was, I figured most people would be somewhat disappointed. It is the way of these things. Thousands upon thousands of readers had made the trek through WOOL and SHIFT and I couldn’t even imagine how Hugh was going to possibly meet the unrealistic expectations. In fact, I was prepared to accept the very real possibility that he could not.
Before I get too far into my review of DUST, let me say for those of you who want to get right to the nitty gritty, that Hugh not only met my highest expectations with DUST, but he smashed them to the ground, dropped the mic and walked away. I don’t say this as a fawning fanboy, even if that is what I am. DUST is better than I hoped it would be. Far better.
I read WOOL before I knew what all the fuss was about. I read it because I was studying indie publishing success, and I stumbled upon a book that had 1500 mostly glowing reviews (at that time) so I decided to see if it was as good as people were saying. I loved the book. I loved Hugh’s story even more. Then there was SHIFT…
Don’t get me wrong… I liked SHIFT. I liked it a lot. I wrote a five star review for it.
(CONTAINS WOOL AND SHIFT SPOILERS)
You could have fooled me. You could have said this was fan fiction from some insanely ambitious (and talented) Wool aficionado, and I would have believed you. This didn’t feel right. Not quite. The characters and the settings were the same, but something was off.
To be frank, I would have no freaking clue as to how to successfully conclude this series, I wouldn’t even dare to try. Wool was a masterpiece, Shift added to it wonderfully. Wool’s silo had its unique atmosphere. The Silo 1 of Shift was altogether different, but just as unique. Juliet’s ending remark to Donald in Third Shift gave me goosebumps, even when re-reading it before the release of Dust. It made me so psyched for an epic conclusion.
What I got instead, was something that felt like a half-inspired sequel.
STORY: The storyline is not tight, at all. I suppose parts of Shift drifted somewhat as well, but only in Dust does it become a problem. Given where Third Shift left off, you’d expect some more intensity right off the bat. Instead, we’re off to a slow start about getting a digger to work, and we learn about Jules’s support diminishing. A nice subplot, that, but ultimately it doesn’t really affect the story, and as such it’s mostly in the way. The same goes for Solo and the kids. In fact, the power of Silo 1 is so grand that whatever’s happening over there is of much greater importance, not only in the grand scheme of things, but for the fates of Jules and her people as well. Why should I care about Elise chIDg a puppy, when a man over there can kill them all at the pull of a switch?
