A review by blairmahoney
Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler

3.0

I enjoyed Kindred but was a bit disappointed by this. Prescience aside, with its portrayal of a USA disintegrating under the pressures of climate change, this felt very YA dystopian quest narrative to me. Butler brings admirably multicultural characters into play, but I became a bit bored by the unfolding of the plot.
