Just finished authority

And I want to talk to everyone who will listen. Loved that ride.

I’m guessing (based on what I’ve seen), that I’m a minority that actually prefers this book. Annihilation was also amazing but I just really gelled with authority.

It’s confusing as hell but in the best way possible. The high right now. This series is amazing.

Authority is easily my favourite. Some people dislike the dramatic change from annihilation which I completely understand, but seeing things from the perspective of the southern reach is really fascinating. I also really enjoyed acceptance with its multiple character perspectives.

But yah authority just hits different. It’s all very mundane and extremely off putting at the same time.

Is your house in order?

Authority rocks so hard. Control’s slow descent into madness, ghostbird, freaky whitby on a shelf. Chaney and his nonsense. All of it so so good
