With that finale published tomorrow (2 September), it seems a good time to remind you of book 2. I left reading Authority, the middle book, until as close to the publication of the conclusion, Acceptance, as possible. That way I stand a chance of remembering more of the world that I’m about to re-enter. If I’m not able to read a trilogy all in one go (impatience usually puts a stop to that), the next best thing is to read them with as little time as possible in between each book. Back in February this year, even before I started reading Annihilation, the first in Jeff VanderMeer’s Southern Reach trilogy, there was already something about this trilogy that put it high in my favour – all three books are published in 2014.
