Earthseed: Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents by Octavia E. Butler
4.0
I really liked Parable of the Sower. Solid post-apocalyptic setting, great characters.
Parable of the Talents introduced Asha, who I couldn't stand. She has access to all these journals and records, and yet she chooses her uncle? It's just hard for me to sympathize with. I get that Butler likes to make us empathize with apparent villains by showing us characters who love them, but it just didn't work here as well as in the rest of her work.
I also didn't enjoy
