Dust by Hugh Howey
3.0
mysterious tense medium-paced

Three stars might not seem like the most steller rating for a book, but I actually really liked this series. However, this volume didn't live up to the first two, in my opinion. It captures the same vibe and is definitely a compelling story. I was just hoping for more answers and a more concrete ending. It feels more like a setup for more books than a conclusion to a trilogy. Some of the characters really drop off at the end. For example, I felt like Solo deserved more time to flush out his arch. Really, the whole ending felt rushed. It also failed to provide any surprises. At least none that felt earned. All in all, I needed more to love this, and it didn't happen. 

I would recommend this for fans of Blake Crouch. It reminded me a lot of Wayward Pines, but better.
