Interesting premise but I was more interested in the world than the characters

Spoiler

so I was disappointed there was so much focus on the biologist's ramblings instead of what was actually going on with Area X and how it got to be that way

I may be going through a reading slump but I had to push myself through this one. I don't think the plot grabbed me. I did enjoy the ecology descriptions but otherwise I won't be pursuing the rest of this series.

Psychological horror juxtaposed next to beautiful natural scenery, Annihilation focuses on the willfulness behind self-destruction, and the resistance of healing.
