A review by moonytoast
Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer

adventurous challenging dark tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

in conclusion: what the actual fuck???????

ok i'm officially hooked by this brilliantly crafted story and the unnerving, preternatural mystery of Area X and all the weird stuff with the Tower. i don't read a lot of sci-fi/horror or books that have a "mystery box"-esque plot, but this has singlehandedly won me over to the point i feel the intense urge to immediately read all of jeff vandermeer's backlist of fiction books
