We got to learn more about Earthseed and contrast it with Christian America, CA, in this novel. We also got to see Lauren from a more objective POV where we can see how her passion and fanaticism lead her on a path where not much else—not even her own daughter—was more important.
I enjoyed this sequel even more than the first novel and love the parallels drawn between the religions and the world readers are drawn into.
TLDR; Octavia E. Butler is a genius.
