I went through the 3 books in like 4 days. Octavia Butler does such a good job with those books that even though I didn't like the main characters for Adulthood Rites and Imago, I still couldn't put the books down!
There's major spoilers, so well, be advised.
The whole concept is super interesting to begin with, and it's so well written. When Lilith on the first book starts choosing who to wake up first, it shows such a true thought process. At the same time it shows how she's struggling with helping Oankali to basically extinguish humans as they are.
The descriptions for Adulthood Rites are so great, the whole thing about how Anki feels things, explore them.
In Imago there's so much anguish, so much confusion from all sides. Again, Lilith split between betraying once more humans or keeping loyal to her children.
I'm still in the whole mood of the book. I'd love some cool fanart of the Oankali.
