À propos de cet audio

The bone-chilling, hair-raising second installment of the Southern Reach Trilogy.

For 30 years, a secret agency called the Southern Reach has monitored expeditions into Area X - a remote place with lush terrain that is mysteriously sequestered from civilization. After the twelfth expedition, the Southern Reach is in disarray, and John Rodriguez (a.k.a. "Control") is the team's newly appointed head. From a series of interrogations, a cache of hidden notes, and more than 200 hours of profoundly troubling video footage, the secrets of Area X begin to reveal themselves - and what they expose pushes Control to confront disturbing truths about both himself and the agency he's promised to serve.

it is not for most people but I really loved it! It only starts to make real sence the second time through the series. will likely be even better when I come back for round 3.

wonderful weird

The first half of the book felt very plodding. Like it wasn’t going anywhere but to say that there was a lack of funding. But the second half really picks up the slack and ends with tons of momentum. If you can make it past the first half, you’ll start finding plot beats that begin to hook you until the end. Might be better on a reread with more hindsight and analysis.

Slow start, nailed the landing

I thoroughly enjoy all Vandermeer and this experience amplified it so much by the incredible performance.

Wonder Book. Amazing Performance.

A novel of the Southern Reach bureaucracy, unraveling and deepening the mysteries of Area X via exploration of the organization set up to study and safeguard. I can see how some people would balk at it or consider it more... boring? Consider it a part of the ride. It is worth the journey.

A very different story than Annihilation

A really slow slow moving story. Last 10% of book was exciting. I don't think I could get through the third book with this kind of pacing. Shame.

Sloooooowwwwwwww

After discovering this series by accident in highschool this was perfect for recapturing nostalgia! 10/10.

very good for a re-listening

This is the first time I’m reading (listening) to authority and from what I can recall from others is that you have to read this again to fully understand what is going on. My mind throughout the novel felt all over the place because of how slow paced it felt when control is interviewing the so called “biologist” from the first book. They say there’s a lot of deeper things in this when you give it a second go so I’m going to wait a while before I do that. As a first experience, it’s slow for sure and like the first of the series it picks up near the end when you discover more of the border.

I’ll have to give this another read

Working for the government in the lowest levels the bureaucratic layers are so perfectly fitting yet with the disturbing foresight of knowing what’s going to happen, it just added layers. I really liked it.

A very disturbing yet familiar setting

I loved the first book in the series and I loved this one as well. The narrator was a great choice for this novel.

Great!

Story wise, this second book of the trilogy is quite different from the first but just enough similar too keep you in. I personally was less into the "spy" and "secret service" storyline and there are parts where my interest wane. But the scify/surnatural mystery was weaved in just enough that I kept going.

As a lot middle of three-book series, it feels more a a bridge between the other and end abruptly. so it's tough to judge on its own.

The reading performance is great and set the mood. There are certain parts where it get monotone but it's mainly because the story hit a long passage.

Interesting sequel
