Another amazing dip into the world Octavia Butler built, I will say I do wish it followed the characters from the first book more or filled us in more fully on what happened between the books. However you easily fell in love with the new characters and where you a dropped into the story again.

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

This story has a fascinating way of dealing with sex and gender that offers really interesting criticism of both genetic essentialism and human conception of self. While I did think it was a bit too fast-paced at times and wished there wasn't such a big time jump between books one and two, I think the story that was meant to be told in this book was conveyed well. Overall a great installment to the series and I can't wait to read the final book.
