My major qualms (it feels illegal to critique Octavia Butler) include the main character and her Earthseed religion. Nothing Lauren does is consistent and she reads more as a robot than a human being who is supposedly hyper-empathetic. And tbh the Earthseed plot came across really culty and angsty, which I guess makes sense since she’s a teenager.

This book starts off nice, safe, the calm before the storm, if you will, and then you are thrust into the deep end, and have to face the unexpected like Lauren, our main character, does. It's like the covers being thrown off of you.
