Bloodchild and Other Stories by Octavia E. Butler

medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

These characters are so deeply sympathetic. Compelling situations and human development/exploration. Feel like this would be a great entry to sci-fi for readers of more realistic fiction.

The first few stories were my favorites. The Evening and the Morning and the Night in particular hit very close to home.
