Absolution by Jeff VanderMeer

DID NOT FINISH: 20%

---

i was able to follow along with the story with the two books that came after the first in the series. while those were a little off topic, i understood why there was additional context and i was amazed by it. however, i was only able to tolerate the back tracking for so long before it felt as if the author was trying to write more just to write more. it wasn’t my cup of tea, and i may come back to it again but i doubt it.
