Patternmaster by Octavia E. Butler

4.0

Really fun and quick read. I like the concept of the patternist series so far. I think the 4 stars is probably colored by having just gotten through several LeGuin novels but still enjoyed. I didn’t think Teray was a particularly compelling character - obviously the story has to start somewhere, but I think the reader would have benefitted from getting more of his backstory and upbringing. Amber, the healer, seemed much more interesting to me.
