I just finished Octavia Butler's Earthseed series, and I am wrecked. It was absolutely brilliant and heartbreaking.
Spoilers Below!
Lauren Olamina is an incredible character. She's smart, resilient, and a survivor. However, she also has a lot of hubris. She had the opportunity to move to a protected community when she was pregnant, but she refused because she didn't want to leave her Earthseed community. In the end her daughter, Larkin, accuses her of loving Earthseed above all else. Is that a fair criticism?
