Smarter, more inventive – and with added Harriet Walter. The second outing of this riveting sci-fi drama gives its talented supporting cast room to breathe
The first season diverged from the first novel significantly and I felt like it was a much worse story because of it.
The author did a great job in world building and storytelling that just didn’t work on screen.
For example, the opening vignette is the sheriff walking up the stairs to leave the Silo. It’s an in depth meditation on the worn steps, his personal feelings (but not motivations) and concludes with the somewhat shocking death.
That just didn’t happen in the show as effectively.

I haven’t read book 2, and I’m not sure I will.
This actually makes me want to read the books even more.
I am curious why you don’t think you’ll read the second and third books.
Book one ends on an interesting note.
Book two goes back in time to show us more history.
I just wasn’t in the mood for a retread of ideas that were hinted at in book one and were largely just themes or stories ripped from Fallout
Not to say it was bad… just not excellent. I’m a harsh critic
