Patternmaster by Octavia E. Butler

5.0

Short but it packed more action and drama in than most 400+ page books I've read. Psychic fights in books are way beyond what a movie could ever hope to reproduce. I always hate it when 2 psychics fight, usually staring each other down with some physical plasma of some sort coming out of their hands or heads. The end fight between Teray and Coransee was epic and worth it. I'm sad that I'm finished with the series. I still miss Anyanwu and even miss Doro. This world shes built has so much potential. If I recall correctly the Clay Ark was powered by psyonic power, but this book said it was only mutes aboard the ship. So many questions. I guess I'm going to have to start looking for some answers.
