maybe I was expecting too much because I'd heard about it in adrienne maree brown and Autumn Brown's podcast and thought this was going to be extremely mind-blowing. I kept expecting the story to go somewhere, to develop in some direction but it just kept being a bleak, lost earth and people trying to just survive on it. seemed to me like the plot just fizzled out.

@unsuspicious Yeah, I as underwhelmed as well. I've only read a few but I'm yet to read an Octavia Butler book that lives up to her reputation. Might have seemed ground-breaking when they were written.

@unsuspicious I will perservere!
