Annihilation, the first part of this series was incredibly intriguing and chillingly disturbing. While this second part in the series kept the same tone, it felt like it dragged a bit and the ending suffered from what a lot of 2nd book in a series suffer from and that is that it doesn't feel complete and is more of a pit stop on the way to the end. Still the world created by Jeff Vandermeer here is fascinating and creepy all at once. Control was interesting, but the Biologist is still the character to follow. Looking forward to the last part.
