4.0

The second book of The Patternist series follows the rise of Mary as leader of a sect of Doro's people. She is the grand experiment that he had been leading up to for centuries. Will she be able to handle the power and responsibilities? Has Doro created a monster even he can't tame this time?

Solid 🌟🌟🌟🌟

I’d recommend Octavia Butler to anyone looking for sci-fi that explores racial and gender themes. The Patternist series provides a fascinating glimpse into a society of telepaths, and “Mind of My Mind” is a gripping and fast-paced continuation.
