I read Dawn earlier this year and really enjoyed it, so I was excited to continue the series! However, this book is slower than dial up Internet. I got almost halfway through and barely anything had happened. That 44% could’ve been reduced to the first 15% of the book. And I didn’t care about the main character at all. Like he’s interesting for a minute, but not interesting enough to carry a whole book. I missed Lilith. 

I will say that I still think Octavia E. Butler is a genius because her mind works like no other. I don’t know how she thought of the things she wrote about, but it’s pretty mind blowing that she had these ideas. The execution just wasn’t there for me in this novel. I just know that I can’t get through another 56% of this pacing with basically nothing happening. I hate to abandon the whole series, but I can’t force myself to read another word.

And don’t fight me because I know how you girls like to tussle😬
