A review by alicechris
Parable of the Talents by Octavia E. Butler

5.0

This is an incredibly clever book - even more so than Parable of the Sower in my opinion - but it's also very heavy going, so it's one of those books you have to read at the right time for you. Lauren remains a really compelling narrator, and the addition of the framing narration from her daughter keeps the structure fresh rather than feeling repetitive after reading Sower.
