This was an uncomfortable and disturbing, yet intriguing read. Watching the humans have their autonomy completely stripped away whilst I'm being lulled into feeling empathy for the Oankali was so interesting...
I also enjoyed the concept being explored of if you are really being rescued if you don't have any choice in the matter.
There were also a lot of thoughtful parallels to mental health as well, and feelings of isolation so many of us have.
This has been a fantastic series, and each book and perspective has added to and grown the world in its own unique way. Butler's writing never ceases to amaze me.
