@iraantlers Agreed. I intend to reread Annihilation before trying the full trilogy; I liked it a lot
@stancarey It’s the best of the three in the series. But the others are worthy in their own ways… His book “Borne” and it’s spin-offs feel like alternate universe cousins of the “Southern Reach Trilogy” — with the Biologist character & the brightness/spores re-appearing in various iterations…
