Series ✦ Penny’s Take
Holtondome
Ryan Southwick · 2022
72/100
👍 Worth It
Holtondome builds a lived-in dome society with real thematic weight — ignorance as a tool of control is handled with care, and Seg's dilemma lands. The serialized structure means you won't get full closure here, so go in knowing this is an entry point into a longer story rather than a standalone payoff.
