This is one of my new favorite worlds. I adored the Oankali and learning more about them throughout the trilogy. I love how this book is saturated in ethical ambiguity. You need to decide if you think the Oankali have the concept of consent in their culture. If you think they do, then this is a very disturbing series. If you think they don't, then this encourages you to look at the situation from a fascinating new perspective. This sci-fi family saga constantly questions what it means to be human. I absolutely loved it!
