Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler
4.0
challenging dark reflective sad tense medium-paced

Hits a little too close to home in terms of current events to the point where it's a little bit uncomfortable and there needed to be a spreadsheet created to list all the characters introduced but otherwise, I didn't mind the reading and thought it flowed well. I definitely think there could have been better descriptions of people and places, but I give that a little bit of a pass because it's told in journal form.
