Adulthood Rites by Octavia E. Butler
4.0

I love how Butler depicts humanity. This showcases exactly how I think humans would react to this situation, especially today’s humans. This makes you think about colonialism, xenophobia, social class, racism, gender identity/expression, homophobia and just how we treat other beings. 

I think Butler’s mind is very weird but she writes incredibly well and I will continue to read and reread her books. I didn’t love this one as much as the first one, but it’s still really interesting and I like how we got to follow Akin and his growing understanding of and empathy for the humans.
