Patternmaster by Octavia E. Butler

5.0

Really great, probably the second best in the series? Def better than Clay’s Ark. It was the first to be written, and there’s a fascinating paragraph in the middle of the book that basically acts as an exposition dump for this book, but having read the rest of the series, you see the seeds that she planted here which grew into the other three books. It was exhilarating to read, and so impressive that Butler was able to take such minute details and spin such an elaborate world out of them.
