Where do I begin with this wonderful book? Mad Sisters of Esi is a fever dream in the most beautiful way possible. It envelops you in the deepest hug while pushing you into a world of unknowns, trusting that you will make your way back to center as the story unfolds.
The characters will stay with me for the rest of my life. Each of them feels so different, but somehow all incredibly relatable. I found myself in each one as they went through absolute highs and devastating lows.
The setting and writing style are my favorite aspects of this book by far. Each new place is an awe-inspiring walk through cosmic dreams. And the way we are constantly flipping from one POV to the next, from diaries to academic journals, you're constantly kept on your toes in the best way possible.
I wanted to stay with the mad sisters and never leave them. This book demands to be read at a steady pace, to ensure you are fully taking it in. But I never wanted to finish because it meant having to say goodbye. Mehta has written a novel truly out of this world and I can't wait to return home to it.

hi everyone!! wanted to put this out there for people who might be interested. @pykora and i have planned to do a buddy read for Wild Seed in April this year! i know that there was interest from other users, so i wanted to put a post out for others to be aware and also as a reminder :)
i plan on reading through the series and this Quest following the curriculum by Dr Brianna Whiteside (more info here). there are other posts about it in this Quest forum, but essentially, Dr Brianna Whiteside theorizes that Octavia Butler wrote her books as an interconnected series rather than three separate series. the order would be the Patternist series -> Parable series -> Xenogenesis series
i don't have any planned dates for any of this, but want to prioritize it this year if anyone is interested!
for April, i thought it would be fun to have a buddy read for Wild Seed. i'm very not good with planning specific schedules or dates, so the buddy read will be open ended! start when you want, anytime in April, and finish as comes naturally to you. if there is interest to continue the series, we can plan that too :)
if you're unfamiliar with buddy reading on Pagebound, essentially it just means that we will be reading the book around the same time and informally keeping an eye out for each other's updates and posts. there is no official "buddy read" function on Pagebound, but it's a fun way to connect with people and enhance the reading experience
the buddy read is open to anyone interested! if you join in, leave a comment so we can check in on each other throughout the month!! excited to read with everyone 🩷🩷

I don’t know if this is a glitch but I was searching different books in the quest to see if I could get any ebooks for a good deal and Silver Blood was free for me to download via Kobo Books (I don’t have a Kobo subscription).
One of the new additions I’ve been looking forward to getting to, so will be planning for April now, if anyone wants to join me ☺️
