A review by jersy
Parable of the Talents by Octavia E. Butler

challenging dark informative mysterious reflective tense

4.0

Not quite as powerful as the first book but still very effective. Especially the mother - daughter dichotomy was really fascinating to me as well as the individual characters sense of purpose and priorities. I loved that, in this, it framed our protagonist a bit differently this time. Maybe the hundret pages around the middle wasn't what I wanted to focus on but it was still important, especially for the religious conflict which was also an interesting aspect of the story.
Octavia Butler has managed again to match really thematicly deep content with a compelling SF story.
