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

dark emotional tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

a very worthwhile post-apocalypse! a lot more shooting poor people in the face than I expected
