Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler

dark sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

2.0

Honestly wouldn’t recommend highly. LOTS of trigger warnings and kind of a hugely pessimistic outlook on our future.
