I found the second book to be kinda meh, Control isn't really an interesting character at all, IMO. Besides some of the description of initial science experiments on the border (they sort of corner rabbits to collide with it and as soon as any amount of their body passes through the barrier, their entire... mass kind of just vanishes). It doesn't get interesting like most of the parts in the first book until like Chapter 23.

The third book was also WAY more interesting in how they split the narrative. Especially reading about Saul and the Seance and Science Brigade.

Also yeah, I think VanderMeer announced like a few years ago he was going to write another book, but I guess it's going to about other people not really connected to the Southern Reach facility. So it's like how Douglas Adams made fun of his series calling new books things like "A new book in the increasingly misnamed Hitchhiker's Guide Trilogy". I guess it's supposed to be finished and out by this September.
