A review by silverfronds
Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler

3.75

I think I wanted a little more from this after hearing so much praise about how fitting it was for our current times. It was still a great book, but maybe because I'm not religious I didn't connect with the Earthseed concept as much as others might. I still thought this was a great, almost post-apocalyptic story, very haunting and dark, but also hopeful and abounding in appreciation for human perseverance. I definitely plan to read the second book.
