I never do this but this book managed to wear me down. Yes I gave up on this. (after 50%) Yes I read a summary to know what happened. And I have no regrets! I never got into the triology maybe because of Jeff's writing style but most likely because most of the time absolutely nothing happens. I actually fell asleep during the second book and the story just wasn't worth it for me reading the last book. I know many people love this triology but especially after finding out how it would have ended I'm glad I did't waste my time finishing it.

Mit diesem Titel rundet Jeff VanderMeer seine Southern Reach-Trilogie gekonnt ab. Es werden Ecken und Enden zusammengeführt und einige Lücken gefüllt. Dennoch bleibt die mysteriöse Aura von Area X erhalten - wird vielleicht sogar noch intensiviert. Die Spannung erreicht in diesem Teil meines Erachtens seinen Höhepunkt. Vielleicht liegt es daran, dass wir nun unterschiedliche Sichtweisen erleben; auch mal in der Zeit herum hüpfen und so an neue Informationen gelangen. Aber ganz wird sich das Rätsel um dieses Gebiet wohl nie lösen lassen. Es ist eine besondere und spezielle Trilogie, die ich bereits zum Noch-einmal-lesen notiert habe. Vielleicht auch mal in der deutschen Übersetzung. Ich bin mir auf jeden Fall sicher, dass ein erneutes Lesen neue Blickwinkel eröffnen wird und mir Sachen auffallen werden, die mir momentan wohl noch gar nicht bewusst sind. Es wird sich lohnen, da bin ich mir ganz sicher.

For a book this short it's amazing that it took me a week to read. I read books that were way longer in a couple of days. With these books I just need to concentrate so much on reading and understanding, it takes time and I can't really read more than like 50 pages in a row without getting tired. Acceptance was a good middle ground between Annihilation and Authority. While Annihilation really interested me and I was super into all the creepy stuff, Authority was 80% boring and 20% kinda creepy. Acceptance has many different parts of the story that are connected through the Area X. I really enjoyed that there was more to learn about everything, even though I now feel like the Directors perspective was kinda unnecessary overall. I really enjoyed reading the Lighhouse Keepers view and getting more info about how the Area X came to be, but I still got bored at some parts and wished I was reading something that pulled me in more. I still didn't really care about the characters, but I enjoyed the answering of so many open questions. The ending was a bit too fast for me and I wish it had been a but more rounded, but it still very much fits with the story. All in all it's a good ending to this story, even though I do kinda think this series shouldn't have been going past Annihilation.
