Authority by Jeff VanderMeer
5.0

2024: Understanding the general outline of the whole, I see details contained within Authority that first presented as innocuous or mysterious, that now slot into their designated place in the narrative of Area X. Control spends his time attempting to piece together a cohesive explanation from disparate fragments of a larger total. Reading this book the first time felt like that, a desperate struggle to understand. Now it feels like a revelation and a confession.

2023: I think I enjoyed Authority more than Annihilation. I'm hoping Acceptance carries the same weight and mystery into it.
