A review by thopp84
Patternmaster by Octavia E. Butler

3.0

After completing this series, there is no doubt in my mind that Octavia Butler was a gifted writer who knew how to shape a world and all its rules. At the same time, I had a hard time following this book. I think I perhaps should have read this series in the order they were published, rather than chronologically. That might have helped with my comprehension. You can tell that this book was written very early in Butler's career as her writing has not yet developed as strong of a voice. I am glad I took the time to read this series, even if I didn't fully understand everything that was happening.
