I listened to this as an audiobook - I didn’t love the voice of the reader, but I think hearing it read to me made me enjoy it a bit more - some of the more meandering passages, that I suspect could have been tedious to read, tended to become background noise.

A quick read with hearty descriptions throughout bringing the reader greater ability to visualize the atmosphere of the narrator. Will likely read the next two of the Southern Reach trilogy.

What a strange, short little read. I feel as I read more of this trilogy, the more I remember these worlds.
This book is perfect for lovers of other works like Our Wives Under the Sea and This is How You Lose the Time War.
