The fifth and final volume in the “main” Wool series.
Howey gives himself the room to stretch himself again, narratively, in a way he hasn't since the first volume. The result feels like a complete work, as volumes 2 through 4 didn't. You'd still need to read the earlier entries, of course, as with a traditional series.
Generally: satisfying. The ending leaves a lot unanswered, presumably to be addressed in further entries. I spent a fair bit of this volume worried, waiting to see what was coming next.
As an experiment in format, I think Wool is a solid success. The first and fifth volumes are easily my favorites; it's probably best enjoyed in omnibus format with no regard for the different volumes; volume 1 can truly stand on its own, but not the others. I'm looking forward to seeing what else Howey releases.
