What I did enjoy about the series is that it almost felt like a collection of short stories: in that each novel really focuses on a different main character each time and their own development and experiences during this "rebirth" of Earth and humanity.
This novel focuses on Jodahs, the first of its kind. Human construct, Ooloi, and possibly the being that ends the human resistance once and for all.
While I enjoyed being able to dissect what it meant to be ooloi more in this novel than the others, I was sad to not really learn much more about the Mars colony more.
I have many complex feelings about this whole series and I 100% think that was Octavia Butlers intention. Overall, I will recommend the Lilith's Brood trilogy to anyone that will listen! This is one that all sci-fi lovers should read!
