A review by aced_aro_rose
Annihilation by Catherynne M. Valente
3.0
I would have given more than 3 stars if the story hadn’t lagged in the middle.
The plot was intriguing but the middle chunk of the book was bogged down with a lot of ‘telling’ and not much showing. The real antagonist revealed at the end was easily guessed for me once they were introduced near the start of the book. And the real the character did what they did was just… lame and boring.
But I enjoyed the plot and characters enough that I wished there was more story, continuing into Andromeda.
