I enjoyed this one more than the second book though it brought everything back together in ways that were a bit wild at times. More soon when on the computer. 

Edited to add: In this third novel in the series (the original ending?), we are back in the present (or are we?) of Area X, and some of the mysteries of Area X are unraveled for readers (the slow-burn, ecohorror we expect of the Southern Reach series at this point), and more (and new) terrifying things are going bump in the night and looking at us from within the shadows in this one as well.
