Completed: October 11th, 2026
I am at a loss and an overflow of words after completing this book. Every sentence rings like poetry written at the same frequency as a set of violins in the rising panic of a horror film. Except, there is little relief to be found. Though, neither is there Annihilation to be found.
The narrative and writing in Annihilation is mature and human. It’s painful and depressing in how fallible and incredible the characters are. That they each can seem so distant in their fear and so attainable in their heroism, or vice versa.

Thoughts: The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds kindled a love with the Zelda franchise for me. While I did play Ocarina of Time, I didn’t play it the right way. I didn’t play for fun, I played to complete it. I didn’t find joy in running head first into the puzzles, I hid behind guides and Let’s Plays. What those runs lacked in mechanics, they did get me into the world of TLoZ. The music, the characters, the design, and the world. And, for that, I’m grateful. I do feel like I’ve come along way with my appreciate of the franchise, which makes the Phantom Hourglass my first Zelda game in which I know how to have fun with them, sooooooo how did it go?
