Very intense book. lots of powerful moments. This is definitely a character story.

CAWPILECharactersThis story is all about the characters and the relationships they have. Mainly about Dana and Rufus. Octavia Butler writes an amazing cast of characters.AtmosphereWhile reading this, i could truly feel like I was there with the characters. and while the Present never felt as fleshed out as the past, thats not the story being toldWritingAmazing Prose, short and Sweet. Although I was deceived by seeing it was only 6 chapters and expecting it to be shorter. but thats on me.PlotLess of a plot story that even while its there the characters are more central to the story.IntrigueThe interest of what will happen to Dana and Rufus kept me heavily invested in finishingLogicThe characters all behaved like characters from this time period would in the situation they found themselves in.EnjoymentWhile I liked reading this book, its tough to say I enjoyed it. and I probably won't be rereading it anytime soon
