The Drift by C.J. Tudor
3.0
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Keeping up with 15 characters was not easy and it made it hard to get invested in any particular story.

I kind of guessed one of the bigger reveals and then forgot I guessed it because I put the book down for a few weeks. Ended up being right so I guess that was nice?

The ending though. It felt like it needed a lot more work because it felt so random. There are so many things left unanswered, which makes it hard to follow or believe anything in the end. There’s even a whole conversation between two characters where I got really confused because it was obviously impossible for what they’re discussing to be true. By the time the last two chapters came about, I didn’t understand how things worked anymore, or believe any of it was possible, so the whole thing felt like a major letdown.
