Review:  Wild Seed (Patternmaster #1) by Octavia Butler

Wild Seed (Patternmaster #1) by Octavia Butler *audio book purchased from audible.com and review copy of e-book received from netgalley and the publisher* Rating:  4.5 stars/Grade A Blurb: Regina’s Review: I really don’t know where to start with this review.  Wild Seed is unlike anything I have ever read before but yet it was still very accessible and easy to read.  I would say this book is a combination of urban fantasy, horror, historical fiction and fantasy.  Butler addresses slavery, gender roles, racial issues, sexuality, and class issues so subtlety you can miss the commentary if you want to and she does [ Read More of this Review ]
