"love this series. so now we have the first (and second) human born life-creator. it/they are apparently irresistible to us humans. smell their scent for a few minutes and we're like putty in their hands. so despite the fact that a human-only Mars colony has been created, the last group of fertile humans decides to stay and go alien. how could this possibly be the end of the series?!?"
"The powerful conclusion to the Xenogenesis Trilogy. Like most of Octavia Butler's work, it revolves around stark choices regarding the nature of humanity when survival is at stake; like most of her other work, it ultimately ends on a note of hope despite the compromises.
Unlike the first two books in the series, this one is told in the first person. I don't know if that's part of the reason I found it so compelling. All I know is that the first thing I did upon finishing it was to flip back to the beginning and immediately launch into it again, because I simply wasn't ready for the story to be over."
"A great end to an excellent SF series. I have enjoyed every story I have read from Octavia Butler so far and plan on trying to finish out the Patternist series when I can get out to the bookstore."
"i'm not exactly sure why i rate this one lower than the other two. i enjoyed this one a lot, too, but somehow i felt it was thinner than the other books as i was reading."
