Acceptance
The New York Times bestselling final installment of Jeff VanderMeer’s wildy popular Southern Reach Trilogy
It is winter in Area X, the mysterious wilderness that has defied explanation for thirty years, rebuffing expedition after expedition, refusing to reveal its secrets. As Area X expands, the agency tasked with investigating and overseeing it--the Southern Reach--has collapsed on itself in confusion. Now one last, desperate team crosses the border, determined to reach a remote island that may hold the answers they've been seeking. If they fail, the outer world is in peril.
Meanwhile, Acceptance tunnels ever deeper into the circumstances surrounding the creation of Area X--what initiated this unnatural upheaval? Among the many who have tried, who has gotten close to understanding Area X--and who may have been corrupted by it?
In this last installment of Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach trilogy, the mysteries of Area X may be solved, but their consequences and implications are no less profound--or terrifying.

Tedious. Feels like work to get through. Has some good imagination. it is so disjointed, like a delusion stream of consciousness. Not very well done. I kept feeling like I was reading a desperate attempt, instead of getting immersed.

I liked the trilogy, it had some creative concepts. But the writing style is comically self conscious and… patchy?There’s a lot of sentences like…”and she did, but maybe she didn’t, but maybe they all did, and maybe that was the point, if points still mattered in a world where people didn’t”. Sometimes it feels like the only thing being annihilated was the writer’s train of thought. Otherwise it was somewhat captivating.

Things this book lacks. A cohesive sentence. Characters with relatable emotional responses. Proper description or explanation. I get it. Super zany crazy wow alien world can’t be properly described. Or. The author isn’t very good so hoped to hide that fact by pitching out random adjectives from a thesaurus and kept at it for 500 pages. This book is bad. It just tries to mask it with vague and confusing language.
