3. Patternmaster by Octavia Butler
Patternist is my last unread Butler series, so I decided to read in publication order instead of chronological so I don’t end on her first-ever novel. You can def tell this was her first book bc the prose is especially spare and unadorned, and the story basically—

The issue with the Patternist series is the writing order. PatternMaster and Mind Of Mind are early in her career so not nearly detailed enough
WildSeed is perfect but we don’t get that style of writing again until the Parable series.
Clay’s Ark is too dialogue heavy

Of course she got fired and hasn’t been able to contact her to get my copy back.

I’m always extra impressed when an author knocks it out of the park on their first try! I’m reading Patternmaster by Octavia Butler rn and can’t believe this was her first novel

Just finished Clay’s Ark. After I finish Patternmaster, I need a break. No more breeding shit. I’m feeling sick. 😵💫

I remember annotating tons when I first read the Patternmaster series. So I'm looking forward to looking back on those notes.
Same for the Parables.
I think I lightly annotated for Xenogenesis.

They are incredible books but oooof.
Patternmaster has some of the “wow she was so prescient” but also it feels more science fiction overall, and less “wow how did she see all this shit we are living through coming”
I enjoyed them a lot

But be in the mood for it. They depressed the author writing them so much, she started a more fun vampire series afterwards as a counter, but then she passed away :(
It’s a good read also though!
However I really liked her Patternmaster series too.

My #StoryGraph for April 2026 #BookSky.
I didn’t take the screenshot at the beginning of the month (because I forgot about this due to stress/family stuff) so my updated goals are:
55/108 books (51%).
17280/35,760 pages (48%).

A significant aspect of my mental state lately, helpfully expressed with near-Tamarian opacity:
Where I would ideally be Mary-the-Patternmaster on the one hand and Camilla Hect on the other, I'm instead finding myself stuck at Vash the Stampede and Jasper-living-in-a-cave.
This is _decidedly_ off.
