A review by togdon
Area X: The Southern Reach Trilogy: Annihilation; Authority; Acceptance, by Jeff VanderMeer

2.0

I struggled to finish this book, putting it down for an extended period somewhere in the middle of the second book. I think what bothered me about it is that I never connected with any of the characters AND I didn't find the meandering "plot" to be compelling. I can usually ignore one of the two for good writing--and the writing here is fine--but not both. I finished it in the hope to get some resolution that never happened, and if you were to ask me what it was about I'd have to say: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
