This series is barely keeping me. I just don't feel attached to the world or the people in it. I will give it one more more go. ( )

The story as a whole has improved characterization, but is obviously not complete within itself. Looking forward to the next "chapter".

Update: Upon reading again, I appreciate the mayor and her lover much better. The feel of the powderkeg of the silo is offset by this relative calm of a story. ( )

I enjoyed this, it's an interesting world-building, dystopian story. I felt it really continued the mystery and suspense until the very end (of all of them) I felt it wasn't satisfying enough to be 5 stars, but it was definitely intriguing and fresh. ( )

A cleaning has been performed, and now the silo is without a sheriff. With only one good candidate available, Mayor Jahns and Deputy Mames set off for the Down Deep to recruit her in person. Along the way, they discover much about each other, troubling news about this candidate, and stumble upon fractured alliances that could spell the doom of a silo they've worked long years to protect.
