Thank you to Netgalley for providing me an e-arc for an honest review.
In the conclusion to the Earthseed duology, Butler's work comes to life with unflinching social commentary that is ripe with parallels of our time.
There was SO many passages I wanted to highlight. So many scenes that I see and feel mirror the reality of our time. My heart was heavy while my mind raced with how dangerously close we are in a religious fascist regime. Lauren is fierce fmc. Unforgettable, resolute, and strong. She is unlike anyone you'll ever meet, and be the blueprint to finding solace in one's belief in the goodness and partnership of community.
Beautifully illustrated, if you find yourself wanting to read the text and can't, this is the perfect supplement to start your journey of reading Butler's work.
