Pretty decent ending to an altogether very enjoyable series. BUT I still have soooo many questions. I wouldn’t say there are “plot holes” per se, more just like information that could be expounded upon.
I think it’s a wonderful story that was worth telling and Hugh Howey did a great job in doing so. I started watching the TV series as well and I can’t wait for the film iteration of this book.
My favorite characters were most of the supporting ones. I think my favorite aspect of the book was all the found family content.

Brilliant end to the series. It’s going to stick with me for a long time, I’ll be thinking of the characters and imagining what they’re up to.

A really strong conclusion to the series - I think the arc of all the characters was good and I liked that most of the questions were answered in a way that made sense, even if it was still confusing until the ends at times.
