A friend recommend the ‘Southern Reach’ trilogy to me a few years ago. It’s been on my list for a while, but I never got around to it until a different friend wanted to watch the netflix movie of the first book in the trilogy, ‘Annihilation’, which meant I had to read the book first. That was a poor decision, since everyone else had already borrowed it from the library. I should have read it sooner. To summarize the review that follows: Read it!
