Adulthood Rites by Octavia E. Butler
4.0
Read on Audiobook + Physical
4.5 stars, 8.57 on CAWPILE
30 years after the events of Dawn, Adulthood Rites follows Lilith’s son Akin, the first male born to a human woman. This book takes place over 20ish years spanning Akin’s childhood years where he tries advocate for the resisters while understanding his Oankali side. Similar to Dawn this book asks many questions about humanity, colonialism, power, the line between good and bad. This book impacted me less than Dawn but still a great entry into this trilogy. Can’t wait to see how Butler concludes this story in Imago.
