Adulthood Rites

Octavia Butler's writing is honestly addicting to me, I could read her books all day. My (small) issues with this are the same as the previous book, it feels a little short for everything it's trying to do and I'm struggling to connect to most of the characters since most of them are just kind of there to serve a specific plot purpose and not to be fleshed out and three-dimensional characters. This one's got some middle-book problems too, it pays off some of the stuff from the first book and sets up a whole lot for book three, but very little is like... Specific Adulthood Rites Content™. Despite this I'm still so captivated by this story, I'm so utterly invested and I can't wait to tear into the next book.
