I didn't like the new narrator for Olamina. She stressed every other word so her sentences were constantly flowing up and down. It was distracting and made it hard to focus sometimes.

Aside from that. I agree with every character that said Earthseed is nothing. Aphorisms, platitudes, and some nonsense. Lauren says "it's truth" as if that's obvious. But it is not.
I digress. The format of Asha/Larkin reviewing/compiling Lauren's history was a good idea. Her commentary was a nice backdrop for the plot.
Everything about Marc infuriated me. It was realistic. But so aggravating.
Again, Butler really really understood people.

Dark, challenging. Dare to know yourself and your feelings about change and sin.
Also every trigger warning. So so many.

i very painfully related to asha and understood her complex feelings with her mother and the ways she prioritized earthseed, even if i wanted to fucking kill marc.
i think i would have be an earthseed hater but also i would absolutely join. community is everything.
