This is my first Octavia Butler and first ever novel on Black History, and I am glad I read it.

This book was incredible. Very intense and very good. I will have to go back and read the physical book soon because I feel like it is a book that I need to experience that way. Octavia Butler is incredible.

This was intense, but that was expected. Will need to think more and reflect, but it's definitely a book we should all read.
