Fantasy & SciFi
DDoro knows no higher authority than himself. An ancient spirit with boundless powers, he possesses humans, killing without remorse as he jumps from body to body to sustain his own life. With a lonely eternity ahead of him, Doro breeds supernaturally gifted humans into empires that obey his every desire. He fears no one—until he meets Anyanwu. Anyanwu is an entity like Doro and yet different. She can heal with a bite and transform her own body, mending injuries and reversing aging. She uses her powers to cure her neighbors and birth entire tribes, surrounding herself with kindred who both fear and respect her. No one poses a true threat to Anyanwu—until she meets Doro. The moment Doro meets Anyanwu, he covets her, and from the villages of seventeenth-century Nigeria to nineteenth-century United States, their courtship becomes a power struggle that echoes through generations, irrevocably changing what it means to be human.

Octavia Butler är i min mening en av de allra största moderna författarna. Hon ger oss här en fantastisk historia om en fängslande, magisk kvinna och hennes långa liv och hennes långa kamp för att skydda de hon älskar från ondska som inte verkar kunna dö. Som vanligt skriver inte Octavia en bok som kammar medhårs. Utan en bok full av fantasi, magi, kärlek, vänskap och mod, men också full av sorg, desperation, frustration och hopplöshet. En saga som känns levd på riktigt, som känns realistisk.
