The two big books from this small pile are Wool and Shift. I still don’t have the final, third book about The Silo.
It looks like I’m altering between post-apocalyptic books and fantasies about necromancers. Could it be me or just that writers are currently only succeeding if they imagine a future with simplicity and grave destruction? In the Silo trilogy, humans have obtained the technology to end the world and it was race for who does it first. When rather than if. The second part gives details about the technologies used to destroy the world, and they’re already a bit off from the modern trends.
The main protagonist is Juliette, a 34-year-old master mechanic with a free spirit. Most of book 1 is dedicated to her and it is fantastic – she solves one problem after another. However, book 2 chooses another path. It is about a bunch of secondary characters from book 1 and explains what happened in the past. Although this might be important to completely understand the story, some of the story lines are not pleasant.
Overall, the first part was a solid 5*/5 for me, and the second was a mixed bag of great and not so great stories for an average of 4*/5. Juliette is featured, which is probably the best part of the book.

I finished reading the Silo trilogy very recently and loved it. I’m also enjoying the show although I still very much prefer the books.

The books are usually better for any such case. Even The Hunger Games, with Jennifer Lawrence and her remarkable performance, was better in the books.

I watched the show a couple of months ago and it definitely made me want to read the books. They’re on my list for the next few months, I’m glad to read good critics about it, thank you!
If you haven’t watched the show yet, I would definitely recommend it.

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll give it a try, see if Juliette is as badass in the show as she is in the books.

I believe Silo began life as a blog.

Wool is one of my all-time favorites. I don’t like the show quite as much but it’s still pretty good
