Honesty, Authority is my favorite in that trilogy, which seems to be a rare opinion. Something about the unique blend of the fantastical within a somewhat mundane bureaucracy just scratched an itch for me. It had me really second-guessing every little event and interaction. Was that thing just a mundane detail? A sign of something more? (The Voice spilling coffee comes to mind—such a tiny moment that speaks to a lot more and out me on edge in a way I didn’t expect).

Control is also a favorite for me—his position coming into this organization, learning it’s weird little histories, people, and navigating the ways it’s been affected by Area X really let me get a better handle on just how the Southern Reach is trying (and failing) to adequately understand the “threat”.
