sundayfever 's review for:

Wild Seed by Octavia E. Butler
2.5
dark reflective tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes
I've been reading too many Butler books in a row, so I was tired of the recurrent theme of all-powerful beings controlling but also loving their subjects. Maybe I'd feel different if I reread this, but it wasn't my favorite of her books. I had to skim and the historical context felt more lacking, whereas some other books felt very clearly in context of their setting.
