DUST, by Hugh Howey, is the second book in the WOOL series. Read my review of WOOL here.

Juliette made it back. She was sent to clean by her people, thrown out into the wilds of the desolate landscape to die, and made it out alive. She was made Mayor of the Silo, a job she doesn’t really want. Plus, people are starting to question her wild stories of a nearly empty Silo nearby with a few kids and a strange man named Solo. Why put all of the resources of their precious Silo toward rescuing them? Is there even anyone to rescue?

Juliette is determined to find a way to save her friends until disaster strikes. The Gods who created the silos have grown angry and decided it’s time for her people to die. Can she save Solo and the children, as well as her own people? Who are the devils who call themselves Gods who decided their fates in the first place?

This fascinating, thrilling conclusion to WOOL will not allow you to put it down. It took me two (sick) days in the house to read it. I absolutely loved it as much as the first. It was gripping, powerfully-written and at times painful to read. It will make you question what you would do to save those you love in the face of adversity. I absolutely recommend this book!
