I’m currently reading the Wool omnibus by Hugh Howey. It’s pretty decent I’ve been making very rapid progress as it’s been too hot to sleep here recently now the summer has arrived.
I haven’t seen the Apple show, but maybe I’ll watch it in the future when I’ve finished all the books (I had Shift and Dust as well).
Seems to be the general flow of her writing style. Broken Earth certainly doesn’t hold your hand, either, but if you stick it out through the directionless lost feeling at the start, suddenly you’re hooked.
