In this 3rd installment we mostly follow Juliette who we met at the last part of story #2. Juliette takes the job as Sheriff, but maybe she shouldn’t have.. Or should she?I’ve said before that it’s weird being hooked to these stories, or just to this story (it’s really just one story) because “nothi...

So this is why serialised fiction sells on Amazon. I'm sorry but it's not working for me. After the first one, these two novellas (that I got when they were free last year) feel like overly long chapters of a longer story. Howey might have done better plotting and writing a full length novel after t...

Ok, the world of Wool is starting to work for me. I wish we spent a bit less time climbing the stairs, but that's a stylistic choice on the part of the writer, and I get it; it sets a tone. With Juliette we seem to have finally settled on the sort of protagonist who can sustain an interesting story...

Here there’s a more con...

As with all other Wools before this, the narrative was engaging, the world building was evocative, and the plotting was deliberate. Nothing felt forced or contrived. Also, as with the previous Wools, the tone of this novella was unique. The language was more direct and deliberate, compared to the ...

This review is also available on my blog, Stumptown Books.Now this gets back into what I loved about Wool 1. We start off knowing how it is going to end, and just like in the first book, I simply had to know what was going to happen. We learn more about the insidious IT department after a whirlwin...

Loved this one! Solid 5-star rating. As the story expands, the world of Wool gets more fleshed out and even more fascinating. I love Juliette; it is very nice to see a well-written female character by a male author (it happens way less often than I'd like). The writing is crisp. The atmosphere in th...
