Yikes… not at all what I was expecting… this novel seemed a bit more like the promotion of a rather nonsensical religion rather than a post-apocalyptic novel. The violence was tremendous, the continuous addition of unnecessary characters was frustrating, and the obscure passages about Earthseed were not only unclear, but rather peculiar. The idea of our nation diminishing in such an extreme manner seems eerily feasible in our current state of affairs, but I was unimpressed with the execution.
I'd heard such rave reviews of Octavia Butler; however, this novel just didn’t do it for me. Sigh…
