pickNot heavy on the tech this sci fi. The plot doesn‘t try to involve you in mental gymnastics. Butler asks the essential questions . What does being human mean ? Where does the threshold reside of humanness? Butler tears apart our exceptionalism very simply. Theres no waffle no over lay no mystifying by high literary language. We are laid bare as we are . Hierarchical destructive zenophobic cruel yet complex beings.

I think I liked the main character of this book the least out of the series, but I really liked the plot and ending. It's not exactly a satisfying ending to the series, but I enjoyed it overall. I'm glad to have finally read some Butler, and will probably attempt Parable of the Sower at some point in the future.
I slipped into my first metamorphosis so quietly that no one noticed.

The second book in the Xenogenesis series, this is such a fascinating book about what it is to be human and what is necessary to survive.
I'll add the full warning in a spoiler comment, but CW for kidnapping and threatened violence towards young children.

This was my first introduction to Octavia Butler, and what a weird but fascinating book. The first half was a little slow, but I read the second half in a single sitting. It's unlike anything else I've read, and I really enjoyed it.

Not only is Butler an award winning author, her books are still read today and she is one of the few authors of color in the Sci-Fi genre. She was truly before her time.
