5/20/2023 0 Comments The southern reach![]() ![]() It has a rather open ending, but it could be happily read as a standalone novel. ![]() I will also warn that all three books in the series are very different.īook 1, Annihilation, is focused on one character and has a thriller-like claustrophobia to it. If you like atmospheric novels, unexplained mysteries, bread crumb hints, drawing your own conclusions, and have an abstract appreciation for nature and science, the book might be perfect for you. If you like hard sci-fi with precise science and properly explained conclusions, beware. I hope to answer two main questions to help those on the fence about starting or continuing this series.Īre the next two books worth it? Is the series good or satisfying overall? Yes and yes, but the books are certainly not for everyone. So, this week I will do a little something different and discuss the series as a whole. I’m sure that many people read the first book and wondered how the rest of the series played out, or maybe you haven’t started the first book yet and wonder if you’d like to dive into this series. The first book is an atmospheric, environmental-horror, stream of consciousness ride. ![]() Personally, I loved it, and since then I have seen the movie, which is also worth a watch. Earlier this year I reviewed Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer, the first book in The Southern Reach Trilogy. ![]()
