Wild Seed by Octavia E. Butler
4.0
adventurous challenging dark medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No

This book is deep and thought provoking. Watching the time pass and seeing the breeding and such with a back drop of American slavery was kind of hard to stomach. I spent so much of the book hating Doro but unwilling to completely write him off even as I was wondering why in the hell Ayanwu wasn’t trying to figure out how to kill him. I need to see where this goes but I will be taking a bit of a break between the books.
