4th book in VanderMeer's Southern Reach Series.

"...a brilliant, beautiful, and ever-terrifying plunge into unique and fertile literary territory...one of the most provocative and popular speculative fiction series of our time."

This book series is mesmerising and so trippy! I just loved the experience of reading it! I can see why this might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I guess I'm just the right kind of person who appreciates stories that make me feel like my brain is melting.

I'm also amazed by the fact that this book came out 10 years after the first 3 were published in 2014. Despite the long time gap between them, Absolution maintained the same quality as the original trilogy. It fits in effortlessly, in my opinion.

Another thing that blew my mind is that VanderMeer wrote all of these books in such a short amount of time. The original trilogy was written and published within just a few months in 2014. VanderMeer started thinking about a 4th book in 2017, but it wasn't until a dream gave him the inspiration for Absolution in July 2023 that he started to continuously write and finish the novel within 6 months. Hellooo, George R. R. Martin! How about you take a leaf out of VanderMeer's book!

Have you read this series?

Did an in-character interview with a guy who insists he’s a wolf. He won't steal your heart, but he might steal your wallet.

After having discovered the #SouthernReach series by #JeffVanderMeer late and reading it this fall, I’m now reading the fourth book, the prequel, #Absolution. This is such wild, crazy unique stuff (it’s sci-fi/fantasy/horror/mystery/ecoterrorism). Love it and don’t understand 60% of it :-) #books #booksky #reading

I love #japanese perspective on #Zen, because it's very strict. In Japanese #meditation you stare at the wall and think #nothing. If something comes up to your mind, your mind isn't trained hard enough. That's all the #religion you need: Staring a wall is your #absolution.

Just finished reading #Acceptance by Jeff Vandermeer, my third time through his Southern Reach trilogy. I felt like I took in a lot more detail than I did the previous two read-throughs.

… and simultaneously feel even more confused about the story. I have SO many questions. True that now there’s #Absolution, and I’ll definitely need to read that and soon.

But I just. don’t. understand 🫠

Also the trilogy is amazing. Go read it now.
