A review by eraofkara
Authority, by Jeff VanderMeer

2.0

Hoo boy. I raced through Annihilation (hey, it's only 195 pages), but BOY was Authority a slog. I feel like VaderMeer somehow sucked all of the life and imagination out of this second installment, remembering to make something, anything happen only in the last fourth of the novel. I'll still read the third book, though, because I'm a sucker who wants to know about Area X.
