The premise of The City We Became gives us a world in which every city has a soul, a human avatar. A person who not only embodies the city, but is a city. When a city is born, these avatars (which is the wrong word but the only word I can think of) come to life.
As I got further and further into Jeff VanderMeer's Annihilation, I could not shake a feeling of increasing dread/terror. And that is the magic of this sci-fi thriller: you can't pull yourself away. The story centers on a mysterious "Area X," a quarantined part of the U.S. coastline, where teams of expeditions have been sent to explore.
A deeply original story set in New York where magicians battle for leadership of the "Unseen World" while dealing with magic that has gone wrong.
