This is my second time reading Clay's Ark by Octavia E Butler but this is my first time writing a review for it. The first time around I gave it 4 stars, I loved the suspense and the thriller elements of this book so much. This time around I'm keeping my rating the same at 4 stars. I'm not giving this 5 stars though because of the violence in the book.

This was a strange, but interesting one. I'm unsure yet how it fits in with the previous two books in this series, but we'll see with the last book. All the content warnings though, whew.
