Parable of the Talents





Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Talents is the second and last of her “Earthseed” books.  The first book had many virtues, this volume, however, features a great deal of repetition.  It repeats the first novel, and the characters go over past events without really adding any insights to the plot.

All in all, Earthseed should have been condensed into one novel.   The second novel provides no added value.
