After reading Vandemere's Annihilation and with all the attention it's getting from the movie that has just come out, I decided I should read the other two books in the series. The second book called Authority is very different from the first. It tells more of a straight narrative story from the perspective of the new director of the secret government agency that is sending the scientists and explorers into Area X. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it, but I ended up really getting into it and in some ways liking this book better than the first. I had some problems with the way the ending of the second book happened, but it wasn't a deal killer for me. If you read the first I recommend that you read the second. The third book on the other hand called Acceptance was entirely unnecessary and it's a complete mess. It's not really a novel. It's more like a collection of notes that Vandemere collected and never finished. It's a mishmash of different perspectives from different characters. You know what it read like to me? It was like a collection of fan fiction. It was like a group of Vandemere fans who got together and said we're going to write a backstory for every character and we're going to fill in every gap and we don't know what we're doing and we're not going to write an ending. That's really what it read like. Thank you for watching. Please subscribe to my channel here on YouTube and please be sure to press that thumbs up button.
