----
Mind of my Mind is the second book in the Patternist series by Octavia E. Butler. I think it's my least favorite out of the series, along with Patternmaster.
This is the story of a few of Doro's children, but in particular, this is the story of Doro's child Mary. From a young age Doro could tell that Mary would have immense power after she psychically transitioned so he decides that he wants to ensure her protection.
Eventually, after her transition, Mary grew to develop what's known as The Pattern, which is a psychic avenue that telepaths can use connect with each other. Mary develops this "Pattern" and then proceeds to gather some of Doro's active telepaths from around the country. After collecting a few active telepaths Mary decided to connect with lantents, people who have psychic potential but they're not active telepaths.
After Mary connects with the actives and latents, well things start to get messy. I won't spoil anything for you, I'll just say that this is honestly worth the read even if I didn't like it as much as some of the other Patternist novels.
This is my second time reading Mind of My Mind and I honestly enjoyed the story more the second time around. I gave Mind of My Mind a 4 out of 5 the first time I read it, this time I'm going to give it a 4.5 out of 5.
