Octavia's Brood

The book wasn't quite what I was expecting. Most of the authors are better known for their activism and non-fiction writing, and their stories are just not the same quality as I was really looking for. I think I was hoping much more for works in the worlds Butler created rather than just short snippets of stories with her themes. I thought the nonfiction essays at the end were the strongest and most interesting, but most of the fiction felt a little forced or too much like an excerpt rather than a complete work for me.
