this took way longer to get through than i anticipated. there were some interesting aspects but overall it was kind of a drag. very bleak view of humanity. i'm still looking forward to reading imago bc that's the book i originally picked up thinking it was a standalone

Adulthood Rites by Octavia E. Butler is book two in the Xenogenesis series, it's a direct sequel to the first book in the series, Dawn. Adulthood Rites takes place almost 30 years after Dawn and although Lilith, the main character from Dawn, is in Adulthood Rites, the main character of this book is not Lilith. 

This story was really interesting, it follows
Lilith's first son
. I really loved the world building and the character development. 

There was only one part that I didn't like in this book and that was part three. It just wasn't as exciting as the rest of the book so I'm going to knock off .5 stars. I plan on reading every piece of work Butler has written at least 10 times each, so I might appreciate part three of this book during a later read. 


Overall this was an amazing sequel to Dawn, I can't wait to finish the trilogy! I'm giving this 4.5 stars out of 5.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  4.5/5 Stars

I read this for free on [Libbyapp.com]
