The Drift

I've enjoyed all of C.J. Tudor's books I've read in the past, but this one fell a bit flat for me. The setting was interesting but I never got familiar with the cast of characters. They mostly felt like 2D archetypes of character tropes without any real personality. It was disappointing for me. But overall, the story kept me interested (despite not knowing who was who, which honestly, might have been a me problem). The aspect of a pandemic that was improperly handled hit a little too close to home, but hearing snippits throughout the story kept me engaged. Though it left me a little confused, I generally had fun. Maybe I'm due for a reread to see if I enjoy it more the second time, but this didn't discourage me from reading more from this author in the future.
