Octavia Butler is such a great writer and, while brutal (definitely read the trigger warnings on this book), this story is amazing. Gripping and dangerous. Provocatively challenging. Perfection.

I wish she could have completed the series, especially when you get to the end and see where this story was going. The ending still works though.
