Seed to Harvest: The Complete Patternist Series by Octavia E. Butler
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I have loved other books by Octavia E. Butler, but this set of four books just didn’t do it for me. I couldn’t figure out the characters, who was who. Maybe it was because I had to listen to it on text-to-speech, though I did try to follow with my eyes. Still, I did stay with it. A lot of times if something doesn’t make sense it comes together in the end. But I didn’t find that. I found four different stories about similar things.
But don’t take my word for it. Others have loved these books so maybe it is just me and this time in my life. Heck, toothache from infection, smoky-hot summer, Covid19, and its craziness could have flavored how I took the books in. So maybe I’ll read them again later. I see that many people read these in publication order rather than chronological and get a lot more out of all of this combo. Ms. Butler writes well and keeps the reader interested, even when the story itself doesn’t go in the flow I think it should.
Try it. You might like it!

What’s the meaning of that „text2speech“ tag?
It is a feature of Kindle Fire that reads the book to you. You can read along, or just sit and knit while listening.
Ah, thanks. And you tag those books where you used that feature?
I don’t know which editor you use on WordPress, but on the one I use, categories is on the bottom of the screen, and tags is on the right.
I usually tag and write the review in GoodReads. Then I copy and paste to WordPress. The body is in HTML as GoodReads forms a string to copy. Set the body on WordPress to ‘text’. Paste in the string, then change to ‘visual’ (I think–the one next to text). Then I go choose my categories. Then go back to my tags on GoodReads and copy those and paste into the tags of WordPress. I hope that makes sense.
thanks 🙂 I didn’t even know that one can tag in GR (I only use the shelves).
Yes, I forgot GR calls them shelves. I been adding lots of shelves for decades to help me sort. Once the review goes live, I copy the shelves.
Copying reviews to the various platforms is such a mess 🤪
I find it easier than rewriting a new bit for each venue. Cntrl A, Cntrl C, Cntrl V are my best friends. 😁
