Shift

Shift is the second omnibus installment in the Silo Saga. Whereas Wool told a tight, linear story about Silo 18, Shift jumps back and forth. While it does so well, this did lead to some mild confusion. Also, as it covers quite a bit of time, it was difficult to keep everything in order for me at times.

Still, it was a very enjoyable read. Shift explores the genesis of the silos, the reason behind their existence, and hints at a dark purpose buried under ground with them. It was a fascinating look into what lead to the world we encountered in Wool. And while many questions were answered, I felt there were still many left at the end of the book.
