A review by bookish_withsky
Acceptance by Jeff VanderMeer

3.0

Vandermeer is probably quickly becoming my favorite author, however this book wasn't it for me. There's a quote in this book that I feel perfectly describes the series: "You can know the what of something without understanding the why." I loved that quote when I came across it because it is exactly true of this amazing series. But then this book does its best to explain the why anyway. With all the intrigue and sense of doom and anxiety the first two books gave me, and all the endless questions and theories running through my head, I feel any answer to be given would cheapen the experience and, unfortunately, that what this book attempts to do. Those who love having answers to their biggest mysteries may not mind it, as the wonderful writing and everything Vandermeer puts into his books is still there, but it wasn't for me.
