a satisfying finish to the southern reach trilogy. i really enjoy this kind of horror/weird/speculative/mysterious/scifi/ecolit story. acceptance gave a lot of insight into the psyche of some of the key players across the southern reach trilogy and made for a compelling read. just the right amount of stuff was left unsaid, in my opinion, and I'm looking forward to picking up absolution soon.
