I enjoyed essentially the culmination and intersection between Annihilation and Authority come to fruition. The way each new chapter switched perspectives between Ghost Bird, The Lighthouse Keeper, The Director, and Control kept me in suspense and curious of what was going to happen next, and it made it interesting seeing how the mystery of Area X began to unravel. I wasn't satisfied with the ending though... But I guess I just have to ACCEPT it (ha ha ha...)
