aBsUrD sage reviewed Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer (Southern Reach, #1)
Sufficiently uncanny
4 stars
There's a lot to love about this book, and I wanted to REALLY love it, but something held it back. I guess maybe I just expected to see more of Area X?
The end did enough to get me invested enough to want to try the next in the series, but I am a bit suspicious as to if it will diverge on a different path.
In any case, the premise is fantastic, the background is great, the characters were – for their purpose – great, and the let's call them "mechanics" introduced throughout the book really helped draw me in.
