A review by teegs
Clay's Ark by Octavia E. Butler

4.0

This book was a little jarring in that it had a very loose connection to the rest of the series but it appears the events of this book are essential to the patternmaster book which concluded the series chronologically. I would definitely look up trigger warnings on this one and the whole series if you're interested. This one was the most disturbing so far but Octavia Butler proves to me again and again that she was either a prophet or a secret time traveller. This book was set in 2021 and some of the parallels are outright unsettling. So well written and imaginative. Octavia Butler is one of my favorite authors I've read full stop.
