A Peculiar Peril by Jeff VanderMeer

3.0

I have a love/hate relationship with VanderMeer and was fully expecting to DNF this one. (It took me several tries to get through the first two books in [b:Area X: The Southern Reach Trilogy|22752442|Area X The Southern Reach Trilogy (Southern Reach, #1-3)|Jeff VanderMeer|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1412547809l/22752442._SX50_.jpg|42299018]). However, I enjoyed the parallel Earth in the story, it's silliness reminded me of [a:Terry Pratchett|1654|Terry Pratchett|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1235562205p2/1654.jpg]'s Discworld, but this was a bit darker.
