This has been one of the most talked-about new science fiction books and science fiction series since it first appeared almost four years ago. And I've been wondering about this book this whole time. I finally sat down and read it a couple of days ago. I read it in a single sitting overnight, which is very rare for me. The book isn't even 200 pages long. It's a novella, really. My super short review is it's good, not great. I would have to say it's a bit overrated. The plot centers around four women scientists who are never named and never use each other's names, who are sent into a mysterious dangerous dead zone called Area X, where scientists and other expeditions have been disappearing routinely for years. Vandemir does a good job of creating a sense of tension and eeriness, but he does not do a good job of describing the places that the characters visit. I found myself throughout the book rereading entire paragraphs because I couldn't picture what he was describing. And this is not because he was being deliberately obscure or mysterious. It was a failure of writing, I think. But it was a quick enjoyable read. Again, good, not great. Thank you for watching.
