I enjoyed Fionn and Rose the most out of the trilogy. Fun storytelling and characters I felt I could most relate to.

I really struggled to finish this one. I get that it feels so prophetic being written in the 90's and feeling so similar to today's world in so many aspects. That i found very engaging, but the HEAVY religious writing about Earthseed was a real turn off. I tried to put it out of mind when reading Parable of the Sower and hoped this book would maybe move on a little past it. I found this so hard to choke down.
