The Rain by Joseph A. Turkot
3.0
There was so I much I liked about this novel but equally as much I didn’t like.
The alternative storylines which I thought were going to intersect but they didn’t quite get there. I hope that means there could be a sequel in the works.
I felt the time jump of Rook’s story of ten years was too much time for him to be easily brought back into the fold of original settlement. I would have liked more of those ten years with his parents time. That all felt very rushed.
Tanner’s side was us being dropped in and honestly I knew who Russell was right from the start.
The idea of the novel is a good one. I have read other end of world stories that involved flooding. The red drug and cannibalism was an interesting twist for sure.
There were areas that I would have liked to seem more developed by the author and if a sequel was written, I was invested enough that I would read it to see if the answers I had would be answered.
