Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer
2.5

content warnings: death, loss of a loved one, gore, violence

This is a... strange book. I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about it. I enjoyed everything about it, in theory, there was just this weird disconnect between me and the book. I liked the setting, the characters, the overall strangeness of it, but there was just something missing.

Honestly, I don't even have anything to say other than that. I am excited to watch the movie because I think this story definitely lends itself more to a visual medium than a written one, and I'm still on the fence about whether to continue. I know that the next book is pretty different to this first one so I might try it out.
