Paperback Prinsass I feel that way about Wild Seed/Mind of My Mind. Octavia Butler is amazing!!!!!


James I read it in basically one sitting yesterday! Exceptionally dark, but ultimately optimistic. Such a captivating book, full of moral gray areas and human touches.


Jackalacka Spot on review!


Julia I hated Marc with a passion. She could have been loved but he decided that religion was more important than that�


Charlotte Larsson Spot on! Couldn’t have said it better.


message 6: by Sam (new) - rated it 5 stars

Sam Webber I agree! I tried so hard to empathize with Marc but I ultimately couldn’t. And Asha ended up criticizing Olamina for choosing Earthseed over her (I understand why Asha believes this, but I don’t fully agree) but Marc most definitely chose CA over his sister


Bessie 'Xactly. Help - I thought this was a trilogy and was looking forward to Marc revenge! Now what should I read?


Madelyn Kreienheder Yes!! And have to admit, I'm upset that Asha was pulled so deeply along with him. I feel that she was working hard to understand her mother, but I really didn't agree with many of her deductions.


Hunter Spears Fuck Marc all the way to the stars


Jamrock Can someone please write a fan fiction third instalment where Mars gets his comeuppance.


Didi's Library So true, Marc was a jerk

Sara Lopes Fuck you, Marc, indeed.


message 15: by s.g. (new) - rated it 4 stars

s.g. FUCK YOU MARC


Casey Brown Just finished reading this, and I’m glad I’m not the only one completely gutted by what a selfish swine Marc was.


Katherine If Marc has no haters I’m dead


Sparkle Mark I hate Marc with a passion 😭


Michael Morrison Finished the book yesterday. I’m onboard the F Marc train too. Eat these double barrel middle fingers Marc!


Jennifer Christie Agreed. But wow, the way Butler captures human nature. So insightful. Each character has their fatal flaws.
