I think this collection is what has completely sold me on Butler's writting. I already liked her style, matter-of-fact and unadorned but able to knock you out, but the creativity and thought that was put into the worlds of the stories really made me see what made her an outstanding writter.
The essays, as well, were great. I liked them, they spoke to me like the've known me forever.
4/5 stars because some stories I didnt like as much but my overall rating on my personal scale is a very good 8.5/10
I have to read more of her works
