Welcome to Litsy!

⭐️⭐️ The #SouthernReachTrilogy did not need a “surprise 4th volume.” The final section was an utterly ridiculous stream of consciousness with what felt like 2000 f-bombs. The story got lost in f*cks. Literally. Truly a bad artistic choice. Additionally, I‘m no less confused now than I was after reading the original trilogy. Unsuccessful expeditions, weird rabbits, cryptic eyes, word-writing moss. I don‘t care about Area X anymore.

I was riveted till the end of book 3 but thought it could have ended more conclusively. The series was a bit intense but I liked how the stories weren't told in the same voice throughout, though all three books were uniformly creepy.

So creepy, but so engrossing. #annihilation #southernreachtrilogy

Novos e fresquinhos! 🤗 #neilgaiman #jeffvandermeer #southernreachtrilogy

I'd definitely call this book one massive acid twist ride without a seatbelt or promethazine that leaves me asking a gazillion questions but kept me turning the page in a growing frenzied need to finish. Knowing there are 2 more books keeps me from completely losing my shyte, that and it's incredibly well-written. I don't know that I'll jump straight into book 2, but I won't wait long. #Annihilation #JeffVanderMeer #scifi #SouthernReachTrilogy

Weirdness Level: Batshit Crazy.

As I close in on the halfway mark, Jeff has clearly locked me in for the whole ride. The only real question is whether the ending has a payoff worthy of the buildup.

Just one chapter in, I can tell I'm hooked. Much like the main character, I desperately want to know what's at the base of that tower. Jeff's writing style for this book reminds me of Michael Crichton's SPHERE. If not for a migraine that's lasted almost three days, I'd probably be almost finished with this by now. #Annihilation #JeffVanderMeer #scifi #SouthernReach #trilogy #SouthernReachTrilogy

Having finished off the available Jackaby books (the wait for book four is gonna test me), I'm going to dive into my recently acquired copy of Jeff VanderMeer's Annihilation. I feel like the title should be shouted in the fashion of the Daleks from "Doctor Who."

AN-NI-HI-LA-TION!
