The tight plot and fast pacing of The Drift made it read like I was watching a movie. Right from the beginning, the tension is high, and I was hooked. The circumstances of the apocalypse and the characters' own plights are not immediately given, fueling me to keep reading in order to piece everything together.
The Drift is dark and, at times, gory, but I found the strength of the characters' determination and effort to do good enough to keep it from treading too far onto grim-dark territory. For the most part. Morality gets very muddy in this one, and it's certainly not a happy or optimistic read
