Interesting and fun. Very strange stories at times... but I enjoyed it.
Boring. Dull. Slow moving. A classic that I think should not be considered a classic. There are so many wonderful, and life changing books in the world... this is not one of them.

Butler blows it out of the water. Some super dark themes and scenes mixed with a beautiful understanding of how to craft, carry and explore rich themes. Plus, stunning world-building. Butler writes everything I have ever wanted in sci-fi. It isn't every day that someone can re-ignite and deepen a passion I already have. I love sci-fi and will eat it up every day of the week. But in a world of sci-fi, Butler's writing is a delicacy. I cannot wait to read more by her and I just wish I could find an infinite source of her writing for the rest of my life.
Let it be noted that the long read time I have on this book is because I read the first 15 pages back in May and forgot it was on Kindle and not through Libby. It was a super digestible yet poignant read that I basically consumed for Thanksgiving.

Simply a fascinating book that analizes and airs out Greek culture. Very much worth reading.

Started with the last book in this anthology. I always prefer to read in publication order if possible. The first book published in this series is the kind of book I read for. While I love reading, only some books hit all the things I really want in a book... and this one did that. I am excited to continue reading this series and will be pleased if they are even as half as good as the Patternmaster was.
