Elender Slowburn & unzugänglicher Protagonist
Durch diesen Band musste ich mich wirklich quälen. VanderMeer schreibt in einem derart zerfaserten Stil, sich ständig selbst unterbrechend, dass ich streckenweise nicht mehr wusste, wer grade spricht und worum es grade geht. Ärgerlicher Weise macht dieser Stil absolut Sinn im Zusammenhang mit der Story. Man könnte es fast impressionistisch nennen. Die Belohnung am Ende ist wunderbar, aber sie kommt erst auf den letzten zwanzig Seiten. Auf zum nächsten Teil…
2.5/5 Well, I really really loved Annihilation, but I really struggled with the second book in this series. I still really enjoyed the writing style, but the plot, in parts, bored me. There were parts in this book where I really had to force myself to keep reading and I still can't really say why. Maybe it was the protagonist, that I never really got a hold on to, or the Southern Reach in itself with its strange staff. I wished that I would've enjoyed Authority as much as I enjoyed Annihiliation, but it just wasn't my cup of tea. Nevertheless, I will continue the series, because the ending, again, left so many questions open that I want to have answers to, but, for now, I need a break from the Southern Reach.
Giving up on this. it took me nearly a month to get through 1/3 of the book. i feel kind of bad to have my first book of the year be something I can't finish, but booooy this is boring. i liked the first part so much, how can the second part to be so excruciatingly boring? i read the wikipedia summary of the book and even that read extremly boring and I couldn't stand the thought of pushing through this book. the summary for book three sounds somewhat more interesting (though not by much) but there is now way i'll spend more time on this series!
2.5/5 It's the same. I mean it is really nice to get to know more about Southern Reach and the bureaucracy behind it, but you can also read the Wikipedia entry to that book instead of reading 300+ pages where not much happens. In my opinion, Annihilation is a very good standalone novel, the others are just nice additions that offer some answers to some questions.
I read this sequel for answers the first one didn't provide and it didn't deliver, which is why I liked it less than book one. Still interested in the conclusion tho
