I'm sitting here just wondering how anyone can even come up with this kind of stuff, like!? I agree with another review that emphasized that the description of the surroundings relying on all senses rather than sight was really good. Area X is like an experience more than a place you can picture, you know? I definitely think the narrator is autistic, and some of the insight she had on her loneliness and interests were really relatable. I like how little is given to the reader, it's an excellent type of worldbuilding (or what's opposite of it). I don't know if I'll continue reading the series, though... However, the use of language is really great. Some sentences were intentionally hard to read or just overwhelming to comprehend, which was excellent. Again, Vandermeer's mind is intimidating. Like, howwww?
