I liked it quite a bit! It's relatively short as well. I have found that the books are pretty different from the show on Apple TV, so you can enjoy both.

short? You must typically read some long books! The thrillers I read are typical around the 300 page mark! that said.... perfect timing for a sale on this cuz I had all three on Libby but the wait time was super long! excited to read this after just watching seasons 1-3!

First book is interesting and I enjoyed it. Didn't finish the second book - didn't like the writer's vision and the characters were not likeable. Just couldn't get myself to keep reading it.

The individual books are well under 500 pages each with the first being the longest. The 1663 pages is over three books plus other stuff because this deal is for the 'Silo Saga Omnibus,' a compilation of all 3 books and another section filled with things others have written to celebrate the TV series.

I read these for free with a library card and Libby before the show's first season. It's... okay.

Edit: Just remember that the entire first book was just loosely related short stories posted online over a few months. People liked the core idea, it made it into the right hands, so the author reworked it into a novel to publish. There was no intention of it being a major hit and he had no solid plans on the larger worldbuilding you find in the other books. It was just a standalone story. Hugh tried the same short story thing with the second book but publishers wanted a novel so that's what the editors made it into. Third book was written as a novel from the start to try to wrap everything up.

I read them during lockdowns and like the first book better. Characters and beats that I liked the most from the books didn't even really show up in the show's first season. I like the latest season of the show better though.

Great books, easy reads. I really like how the author breaks it up into lots of short chapters. Easy to pick up and read a chapter or two.

Different from the show but not in terms of the major plot points and themes. The show is basically up to the point of the end of the second book right now. So if you want you could hold off on reading the third book.

Not going to lie, I like the show better than the books. Weird, like all the slow plot points had been removed.

Agreed. The second, and especially third, get very repetitious. Even the first has extremely long, padded out, sections.
But I did read through, in large part to get to the conclusion (vs. the inevitable wait for the new TV seasons).

Overall, I give it a "meh". If you like the TV series a lot, you may likely enjoy reading (both for the conclusion and see the many subplot differences). If you are looking for great writing, nope.

if you want DRM free ebooks of the whole series, the author sells them on his site. Support artists directly.

Thoroughly enjoyed the first book. Second novel was interesting though took more effort to get through as read more as a fact oriented academic textbook, and pacing was much slower. Almost done with third book and pacing is back to first novel.
