The book is brilliantly written—the kind you don't want to put down.
The entire process of a post-apocalyptic world where Aliens have captured remaining humans is described so well that it keeps you hooked till the end.
Humans really come out badly in comparison to aliens in this and I appreciate Octavia E. Butler's understanding of human psychology, and how selfish and unpredictable humans are.
Overall this book sets you up nicely for the trilogy. It ends on a note that builds great excitement for future books. I am excited to read further to understand what happens next.
