4.5

Der zweite Teil der Southern Reach Reihe handelt von dem neuen Direktor der Station Southern Reach.
Er ist für die Station verantwortlich nachdem die Direktorin vor ihm verschwindet.

(die Psychologin aus Band 1)

Es war sehr spannend die Geschehnisse aus seiner Perspektive zu sehen und sein Handel zu verfolgen.

Ich bin sehr gespannt auf Band 3!

3.5

while i do still enjoy this series so far, i think this particular book suffers from immediately following up annihilation, which was significantly shorter and, in my opinion, much better paced. this unfolds very slowly in comparison and — even though the story was still engaging overall and the writing style retains its tone — makes it a less enjoyable experience as it begins to feel like the narrative is lagging.

all that being said: i think the dynamic between control and the biologist was really interesting as the story played out and i liked where authority picked up from its predecessor by revealing that "versions" of the expedition members (including the biologist) have returned to the outside world, throwing the reader off given the ending of annihilation. there's an understanding of the fact that this is not the same biologist we knew and experienced in the first book, but we as the reader don't fully understand how much they remember and understand what happened in area x. that element as well as the revelation of certain things about the psychologist on the previous expedition were intriguing.

***this rating may change once i have officially finished this series
