À propos de cet audio

This is the story of an apparently young, amnesiac girl whose alarmingly unhuman needs and abilities lead her to a startling conclusion: She is in fact a genetically modified, 53-year-old vampire. Forced to discover what she can about her stolen former life, she must at the same time learn who wanted - and still wants - to destroy her and those she cares for and how she can save herself.

I enjoyed Kindred, so I was looking forward to this. it was ok, but it could have been so much better.

As you would expect from Octavia Butler, the story contained some really interesting ideas and themes. I was so looking forward to where the writer took these in the story, but really, she didn't take them anywhere. The plot was so boring and predictable - pretty much a bunch of long dull conversations and way too much clunky exposition. The entire time, I was waiting for some kind of plot twist that NEVER CAME. Literally, it NEVER CAME.

Then there's the narrator. She really didn't help. I'm not sure what she was trying to achieve with the melodramatic, lost-little-girl tone, but it was infuriating. I'm sure she doesn't talk this way in real life. If she does, I wouldn't be able to be in the same room as her for more than five minutes. The whole time I kept wanting to say to her, "Just talk normally!". I often wondered how much of the essence of the book I was missing because her read was so off.

All in all, pretty disappointing. A great idea that fell flat.

Meh

Would've liked more about Shori's life in the future. Like expand the Epilogue. The rest of the novel was great though.

Ending feels incomplete
