Parable of the Talents by Octavia E. Butler
4.0
dark reflective

There are so many things I can say about this book, but all of them would be spoilers, so I’m not going to do that. 

It has been some time since I read POTS, so maybe I have forgotten but this one seemed so much darker. It’s also very likely this one felt so much more aligned with what is currently happening that it connected more. 

This book takes you on a ride. It is at times hopeful and inspiring but often frustrating and horrifying. I am so sad to think we will never get the end of this story as it was originally conceived, but I think this book does end in a way that feels complete. Definitely check trigger warnings on this one.
