I thought the first book was horrifying but this one took the meat of Wild Seed and expanded it to such brutal lengths. I'm very interested in what's next.
This felt more disjointed than book one but I think with Mary's character, not only did it make sense, but it felt intentional.
Butler's continued conversations around eugenics, slavery, and power were just as impactful as Wild Seed, and I think again, about how timely this story still is almost 50 years later.
