A review by bookishleftistauntie
Wild Seed by Octavia E. Butler

5.0

Anyanwu is an immortal shapeshifter. Who hasn't dreamt of flying above the earth, untouchable? Or living as a dolphin, exploring the depths of the ocean? That sounds like more than enough for a promising novel, but there is more.

Doro is also immortal and much older than Anyanwu. Doro survives by taking over the body of another human. Doro has found Anyanwu and is determined to claim her as one of his. He is brutal and has no qualms about killing for any reason or no reason at all. Anyanwu will only kill if she must. They could form an amazing partnership or destroy each other along the way.
