Octavia E. Butler: Lilith's brood (Paperback, 2000, Aspect/Warner Books) 4 stars

Review of "Lilith's brood" on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I really enjoyed the first book, the story of Lilith after the war and how she wake up in an alien ship and helped the aliens, against his will, to wake up others human to create a new improved race.

The second book, about his son, half human, half Oankali, it is interesting also. He threaten the Oankali decision of not allow humans breed. And he gives hope to humanity, even when then Oankali thinks that, in the end, the humanity is doomed to destruction.

The third book was less interesting for me, because it keeps talking about the same theme, about how bad the human beings are, how badly our society is built and how humanity is doomed to destruction. I find it hard to swallow that human beings are beyond hope, and that we are not able to learn to live in peace. I really agree in the message of accept the different and the love of learning.
