Shift by Hugh Howey

sngsweelian's review against another edition

2.0

Sadly this is one book I can't finish after 200 pages. It looked so promising in the beginning but one third through the book I started feeling lost and confused as to what was really happening in the story. New characters popped up now and then with no explanation of their background or relevance to the story. Aargh! Would have liked to finish the series. Now I just can't.

I absolutely loved how so many things made sense in the end. At first, it was a bit boring to read about people you’ve never even heard of, but it got more interesting along the way and it was very nice to finally connect the dots. Can’t wait to finish this series!

This series is really a great post apocalyptic story with a strong skilled heroine.
