A review by sophieamreacher
Shift by Hugh Howey

challenging dark emotional mysterious reflective sad tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

Slow at times but intriguing, upsetting, and thought provoking. It will be interesting to see where book 3 goes.
