Acceptance by Jeff VanderMeer

FINALLY FINISHED THIS BOOK THAT NEVER ENDS. Liike, it took me 11 days to read this book which is a very long time in my world. I was bored. The sci-fi concepts were so interesting, but the slow, plodding narration that drew me in in the first book weighed down the story by the third book. Normally a story speeds up as you get closer to the monster, right? Not here. Zzzz. Although I understand this was a deliberate stylistic choice to mirror the movement of the Crawler... still.
