As more and more WOOL fiction is written, one would expect the quality to diminish. However, Unhinged by Brigid D'Souza keeps up the great work that started with Hugh Howey in the original and has passed down through many other writers. All in all, D'Souza has kept the spirit and themes originally found in the Silo alive in her own work.In the first few chapters, we meet two characters, Aaron and Martin and get parallel stories in alternating chapters, each a unique story that leaves the reader questioning the connection between the two until the end. When that connection is made, it is a doozy and D'Souza illustrates how many things are connected throughout the silo.We are also given an introduction to the Mole Rat -- a mysterious, rebellious leader in the Down Deep who will, I presume, be given more page-time in sequels, and deservedly so.I loved the pacing of the story and found D'Souza another fresh perspective on the seemingly endless stories that can be told from Howey's silos.
