Review: Good premise but lacks depth of characters and originality of plot

I really wanted to enjoy this post-silo story. However, I found that the story was too simple and without surprise. The evil leader attacks the peaceful villagers with the fairy tale result. I couldn't believe how the hero was accepted and had a working farm, including a new house in just a week! Everything was surreal and not at all like the quality of the original Silo stories or even most of the spin offs. Finally, it seemed that the editor even got in a hurry to end their task as the last pages contained several glaring errors, from having Hex picking up his own body (I am sure it was supposed to be Bas) to spelling errors (b instead of be).
