been so sick my throat refuses to let me speak

Title: Authority

Author: Jeff Vandermeer

Score: 8/10

It was kinda hard to start, it felt slow to me, but after it started to pick up pace, it was so good. It gave a good point of view from someone in the Southern Reach (Control/John) who was charged with interviewing a “clone” of the biologist from the first book (Annihilation) of the Southern Reach Trilogy. It then ends with John and the Biologist jumping into an entrance into Area X that she unknowingly created. I highly recommend this series so far to sci Fi fans

Next book: A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
