![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I have been taking advantage of the new cover editions of Octavia Butler’s work for a while now. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.) (Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. The moment Doro meets Anyanwu, he covets her and from the villages of 17th-century Nigeria to 19th-century United States, their courtship becomes a power struggle that echoes through generations, irrevocably changing what it means to be human. No one poses a true threat to Anyanwu - until she meets Doro. She uses her powers to cure her neighbors and birth entire tribes, surrounding herself with kindred who both fear and respect her. She can heal with a bite and transform her own body, mending injuries and reversing aging. Anyanwu is an entity like Doro and yet different. He fears no one - until he meets Anyanwu. With a lonely eternity ahead of him, Doro breeds supernaturally gifted humans into empires that obey his every desire. An ancient spirit with boundless powers, he possesses humans, killing without remorse as he jumps from body to body to sustain his own life. ![]() Summaryĭoro knows no higher authority than himself. While I loved her other books, Wild Seed was much harder for me and I think a lot of that lies in the order for the series. I first discovered her short stories, fell in love with the Xenogenesis Trilogy and then scooped up more. Her work has been transformative in my life. ![]()
