badgersbooks 's review for:

Absolution by Jeff VanderMeer
3.5
challenging dark medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No

I really enjoyed the first three Southern Reach books, I felt really immersed, and the natural world of Area X felt like a character in of itself. These books are pretty abstract but this finale was almost so much so that I found it hard to connect and get through it at the pace I did with the others. Though the ideas it explores are very interesting, it was not the satisfying end that I was looking for - but maybe that is the whole point!
