Not as impressive as the first time i read it, probably because the concept wasn't new to me. Still good though.

I enjoyed this but it seems that it's as yet unfinished. I read the volume 1 trade paperback containing issues 1-5. I hope they come back to it!

A gruesome masterclass in escalating episodic cosmic body horror. I didn't expect to enjoy this so much. It's absolutely bonkers. Also it went straight to the heart of a genuine lifelong phobia of snails! Argh!!

On the first read I didn't really get into this. It was because at the time the Control character introduced in Authority I found a bit jarring. That didn't happen on the second read of Authority, and as a result Acceptance went down beautifully as well. Now that this is a quadrilogy I will be in posession of book 4 very soon. The Southern Reach tri/quadrilogy means a lot to me and has become smooshed together with Roadside Picnic, Blue Lake and The KLF: Chaos, Magic and the Band that Burnt A Million Pounds in my general headcannon. This will probably result in tattoo(s) at some point.
