Adulthood Rites by Octavia E. Butler
4.0

Wildly different from the first book, but still very interesting. I think the pace slowed in a couple places, mainly due to the wealth of information provided about the Oankali. I felt like an alien anthropologist reading this at times, which isn't a complaint, necessarily.

As a standalone, I might not have enjoyed this as much, but it was easy to get through knowing a lot of this is setting up for an exciting final act in the series.
