A review by mossgoblins
Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer

mysterious reflective tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

Annihilation feels like a hallucination in the best way. Although there is little focus on the characters outside of their archetypes, VanderMeer’s calculated use of language and gorgeous, terrifying worldbuilding make the book a joy for any surrealist horror fan to read.
