I loved reading this! Octavia Butler was definitely ahead of her time and with how dystopian the world  seems, this gave me comfort while also unnerved me. I'm excited to read the second book in the series. I didn't love the Earthseed stuff, but I understand how it adds depth to the overall storyline.
