A review by svrvsky
Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler

4.5

Butler’s writing and storytelling is incredible! It felt very prophetic and the characters felt so real!! There were a few relationship dynamics that kept me from a full five stars. But overall I really enjoyed this book and will be reading the sequel !!
