Authority

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Authority is a fun ride, but much of what it shows seems to be setting up for the third. There's plenty of fun weirdness along the way, but I thought Annihilation played up the "Weird" brilliantly. I expect that Acceptance will cap it off well. Odd to say, but I feel like I won't know what I think about the second one until I read the third.

I thought Whitby was an amazingly drawn...character? Person suffering and trying to maintain himself? But his appearances were always my favorite.

I got the book recently. Loved annihilation and soon after finishing it I started the City of Saints and madmen, also great. Now I'm 100pages into Shriek, so I have authority on hold.

Has anyone started the second volume of the Southern Reach trilogy yet?? I'm about halfway through.? It is much slower than the first volume (Annihilation), but that is clearly intentional.? There is a sort of slow, rolling eeriness to it that plays off the faster-paced first volume really well.? Vandermeer knows how to feed little tidbits to keep it interesting, even when it meanders.? I like Authority quite a bit, and am really curious to see where the hell all this strangeness is going.
