Unexpected Stories by Octavia E. Butler

3.0

These were some very interesting stories. I kind of wish they had been full length books, or at least novellas so that we could fully explore the themes that were being addressed. I was intrigued by A Necessary Being for the ideas it brought up, like what exactly ARE the Hao and what brought about the thought process that the clans NEEDED one to to thrive? There were hints but nothing that was able to be fully addressed in the limited pages.
Same with Childfinder and the apparent war brewing.
