I’ve had a hard time putting this book into words. Please don’t mistake this for any dislike. I loved this book. It was very complex though. Hopefully through my review you can understand better in what ways I felt this and also find that this book is worth reading because of its complexity.

Updrift is exactly what I love in a book. The book had so many experiences that took the reader on a wild ride. The characters are beyond complex. Their personalities show so much growth throughout the book. I will admit I really wanted to shake Kate a few times. She does get a bit dense at times. I think the hardest part of this book is knowing what’s going on with Gabe but waiting for Kate to catch up.

Errin Stevens did an amazing job writing this book. There were a few parts that I felt were rushed, however this book is very complex as I previously said. Sean Posvistak did a great job narrating the story as well. I can’t recall many hiccups. I think my audiobook repeated a few sentences, but I don’t know if that was the narrator or simply the production process. The recording was still a winner for me even with this minor issue. Overall the book is great throughout, however I wish it had been written from a first person POV because I feel it would have given us a deeper relationship with the characters.

If you love a book with complex characters that give you quite the adventure, Updrift is definitely a book for you. I am super excited to read the second installment. Believe me when I say this story will pull you in so many directions that you will fall in love with. I hope you enjoy this story as I have. Updrift is probably one of the most realistic fantasy style books I have read in a long time.
