Authority by Jeff VanderMeer
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
I originally started this series on the suggestion of my local bookstore owner; someone who knew I loved a good strong female character and story line. Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed with this book, having loved the first in Southern Reach Series. The female protagonists I had grown to love were only minor characters in this novel, and while the plot remained centered around the same themes, I found it moved much slower than anticipated, and as a result, abandoned it half way through.
I do maintain that the plot and story line of the series seems quite good, and so I hope to revisit this novel when I perhaps have more time to sit down and focus more on the subtleties between the newly-introduced characters.
