Book Review: Shift

The second book in Hugh Howey’s Silo trilogy, Shift is an immersive and claustrophobic environment. As a Georgia native, I especially enjoyed that this series is set in rural outskirts of Atlanta. The skyline lays in ruins off in the distance, over the rolling hills of North Georgia. The timeline alternates between the past, before a catastrophic event forced a small group of humans to inhabit massive underground silos, and the present, where the main character, Troy, uncovers clues about what happened.
