65% Informative

Jeff VanderMeer released all three parts of the Southern Reach trilogy over the span of just a few months in 2014 .

The books told the story of an abandoned coastal area that had become reclaimed by a mysterious phenomenon known as Area X.

The book is split into three parts and largely follows two characters from the original trilogy.

A lot of Absolution is meant to make readers feel disoriented, but that’s up to readers.

The answers to a lot of things are right there in plain sight, but I don’t actually think these books are that surreal or weird — especially this one, which is more of a fun, weird point of view.
