I understand why people may not enjoy this, but I loved it. The perspective shift to gain insight into the southern reach landed for me, following Control through his slow undoing, the way tension is written throughout this second installment. It’s slow, but for me it burns. When I put this down I’m glad I purchased Acceptance, because I immediately picked it up.
“Slow death by aliens. Slow death by parallel universe. Slow death by malign unknown time-traveling force. Slow death by invasion from an alternate earth. Slow death by wildly divergent technology or the shadow biosphere or symbiosis or iconography or etymology. Death by this and by that. Death by indifference and inference.” (Page 129)
