I was in the same boat as you, then decided to go ahead and read them and I am very glad I did. Annihilation is still my favorite and the best of the three, but I still enjoyed the others. Authority has one of the only scenes in any book that actually creeped me out. The buildup and tension of it is all just great. Both of the sequels still have that fever dream, mysterious quality to them as well. I know others didn’t enjoy them as much, but for what it’s worth, I would say absolutely read them.

It feels like the creepiness has shifted to more of a humans going crazy and deranged type of thing, rather than cosmic horror, nature watching you kind of thing ? Like event Horizon compared to Alien.

If you keep going I think it starts to come back around. And Acceptance is a lot more like Annihilation than Authority, as the setting returns to Area X. Again, it’s your decision, but I highly recommend continuing.
