Acceptance by Jeff VanderMeer

mysterious slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

I think you could read this without reading any of Authority, as the main points of Authority are explicitly restated.

This is much closer to Annihilation than Authority, and better for it.
