A review by toc
Imago by Octavia E. Butler

4.0

The writing was excellent. The characters were great. The general thesis was … disturbing.

I don't know. I wanted to like this book. Everyone says it's a masterpiece. But I was too creeped out all of the time by the Oankali. Not because they were alien. Not because of how they looked. Not because of their odd abilities. But because of their general feelings toward Humanity. Telling you exactly why that creeped me out would be telling too much. So I'll leave it at that.

This feeling persisted throughout the entire trilogy…
