I’m sorry but this book pissed me off. Annihilation piqued my interest and had some great imagery and mystery, but Authority was an absolute slog, so I was hoping this book would be a satisfying finale, and I was disappointed. I found the explanations in this book super confusing -- I was always just as confused as before anything was explained, if not more confused. The parts that weren't confusing were just boring and didn't feel like they contributed/mattered toward anything that happened in the end of the book. I wish I'd stopped after Annihilation and just let myself wonder about the mysteries because the rest of the series just felt like a waste of time to me.
