The ending of this series was kind of a bummer. I wonder if I read it in publication order if it would have made a difference in my overall enjoyment of the series. Butler’s writing is compelling, and my brain just isn’t big enough to catch all of the symbolism and themes that she weaves through her stories. Overall, this was just ok. Compared to Wild Seed and Mind of My Mind, this felt very approachable and digestible, but reading it in the order I did, I feel like it was doomed to be mid.
