A review by jitterbugsnap
Adulthood Rites by Octavia E. Butler

3.75

I preferred exploring the themes of the first book, but Butler did an amazing job of making me feel as unsettled by the oankali (and even Akin) as the humans were in this book in a way that I didn't feel as strongly in the first. It took me much longer to read this one, as I just didn't feel as motivated to pick it up. I'll still probably read Imago someday, but probably not any time soon.
