A review by alexandragriffin
Fledgling by Octavia E. Butler

Did not finish book. Stopped at 62%.
I couldn’t do the pedophilia anymore. An vampire/ina who appears to be 11 years old but is 50-something by human standards, but IS STILL A CHILD BY VAMPIRE/INA STANDARDS does not make it any less ick for me. 

There also doesn’t seem to be any deeper meaning or symbolism behind the sexual content, and I just can’t listen to another description of a grown man having sex with a child vampire while she feeds.
