A review by nb_leftist
Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer

dark reflective tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

Vandermeer shows so much restraint in this, he reveals so little and it makes the book hard to put down. It’s one of those books where not much happens, but the things that do happen are truly horrifying.
