"Great finish to the trilogy. For a second I thought it wasn't going to end well but then all these new things were revealed and the ending was so satisfying. Great believable dystopian story!"

"Incredible dystopian series all the way through"

"A great continuation of an exciting story. Left me wanting to hear more. While reading I could most definitely picture silo life, and I’d want out too. Awesome storytelling. "

"I am still reading this one. Just had to take a break and make a comment because it was getting emotional intense for a bit. Without giving too much away, I will just say that this book gives me such hopeless feeling lol always a good book when you get funny feelings reading it."

"Yes, I loved the Year One trilogy by Nora Roberts…..I’ve never read anything else that compares. "

"This book was really good. The whole series was a rough but good read. It unfolded like origami and dragged your perspective with the characters as they reacted to new situations and information. This made for a very compelling plot. I do think some of the ways he writes women is a little cringe but pobody's nerfect."

"Another dystopian novel that shows what happens when power lands in the wrong hands. <br/><br/>Overall, I found this book to be a bit of an anticlimactic ending to the Silo saga. I hoped for more, to be honest. While I’d like to rate it four stars out of loyalty to characters like Juliette and Solo, objectively, it’s probably closer to three stars for me. Compared to the previous books, this one felt average. The first book was incredible, filled with so much tension and drama. The second book’s flashback made sense—it brought us up to speed—but in this final installment, I was expecting more suspense and new twists.<br/><br/>The biggest moments here—Silo 17 being shut down and Donald’s death—felt predictable. I was actually surprised there was no revelation of an outside society. I imagined something like Divergent, where the characters would eventually break free from their controlled environment only to find a whole new world watching their progress, maybe as part of some grand experiment. That didn’t happen, and I found myself wishing the story would have gone further, especially in the epilogue. What actually happens to the characters after they escape? Are they just left to survive against the wolves? Do they find a chance to rebuild, or is their freedom short-lived?<br/><br/>I also wish we had seen more of the world outside—what became of the rest of humanity, of the cities, and the wider landscape. There were so many lingering questions. And as for Juliette’s story, I was sad to see her romance with Lucas end the way it did. I did, however, love the potential between Elise and Shaw, although I admit the marriage moment with the older man gave me a lot of anxiety—an unnecessary, disturbing touch.<br/><br/>Overall, this final book was good but left a lot to be desired. It felt rushed in its conclusion, and I wanted more closure. Who knows—maybe the TV adaptation will offer a different take."

"The series! One of the best I've ever read."
