reviewed Wool Omnibus by Hugh Howey

Hugh Howey: Wool Omnibus (2012, Broad Reach Publishing)

This Omnibus Edition collects the five Wool books into a single volume. It is for …

Review of 'Wool Omnibus' on 'Goodreads'

Thoroughly enjoyable series. Intriguing from the start and my interest kept building throughout all 5 books. Lovely development of characters over time - with tantalisingly little detail to grasp at first but enough to keep you seeking more. Conversely, I also like how some things were not explained or left unresolved. Also liked the vague hint of a steampunk bias towards old technology and engineering, rather than the usual hi-tech content of much SF/some PA works. Will certainly read the Shift books after tackling some other books on my 'to read' list. Thanks, Hugh for a great read.
