There's plenty of fun weirdness along the way, but I thought Annihilation played up the "Weird" brilliantly. I expect that Acceptance will cap it off well. Odd to say, but I feel like I won't know what I think about the second one until I read the third.</span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br><span></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span>I thought Whitby was an amazingly

It is much slower than the first volume (<i>Annihilation)</i>, but that is clearly intentional. There is a sort of slow, rolling eeriness to it that plays off the faster-paced first volume really well. Vandermeer knows how to feed little tidbits to keep it interesting, even when it meanders. I like <i>Authority</i> quite a bit, and am really curious to see where the hell all this strangeness is going. <br clear="none">
