7/8/2023 0 Comments Southern reach booksIt’s set at the Southern Reach the headquarters of the Area X initiative where we follow a new protagonist and interim director John Rodriguez (aka “Control”). I blew through Annihilation but Authority left something to be desired. I had hopes of finishing Acceptance as well (the final book in the trilogy), but as I type I’m still less than 100 pages into it… thanks to Authority. So, for this month I read Authority, the sequel to Annihilation and the second in James VanderMeer’s Southern Reach trilogy. But I enjoyed that it was unlike anything I’d read before… a cast of all female leads, an unearthly terrain, a mystery with an unforeseeable solution, and a layered writing style that kept me wanting more. A lot bizarre, especially toward the end. A short book (only 200 pages or so) and a great page-turner. It was a great first read to get me back into books after having my second daughter.
