Well, I've just finished this and my mind is still reeling. Absolutely superb.
Although the second book in the series, it's actually a prequel set over several centuries, beginning 50 years in our future, filling in the backstory of how the world of the silo came to be and bringing us full circle to dovetail neatly with the end of Wool.
Full of instantly sympathetic characters, it had me hooked from the first few pages.

I just finished that book too! I'm impressed that the writer is able to carry the plot line when the characters change over the course of the book. It was a fascinating peek as to what caused such a drastic change. I'm looking for "Dust" now.

#19 Insurgent by Veronica Roth
Second in the Divergent series. Not the best dystopian book I've read but still entertaining.
