Man. This book did not work for me at all.

There are 4(ish) things that I look for in books, and if even just one of them is well done I'll be happy.

Interesting character arcs - None. Control doesn't grow or change or do anything besides putz around and have things happen to him for 350 pages

Story - Just backstory for the next book? As soon as this book finally goes somewhere it ends on a cliffhanger for the next. No resolution, nothing. Wtf?

Plot - NOTHING HAPPENS. Control goes to the place. People are weird at him. He doesn't react. The end

Prose - WEAK ASS PASSIVE PROSE. It worked in Annihilation because the prose was in service to the character. The Biologist was distant and kinda weird, so distant detached kinda weird prose works. Control is supposed to be a cool spy-guy or whatever. Why is the prose still this weird wishy-washy passive voice nonsense??

Ugh. I hated this book.

Lets hope the third's better.
