Has anyone else heard about what's going on with this? I know Children of Blood and Bone bounced around from Disney/Lucas Film before settling with Paramount and now the author basically is disowning the adaptation, won't be promoting it or seeing it. Sounds like there was BTS drama, possibly to do with one of the lead actresses. Thoughts?

Edit: Thanks for all the comments btw. I just really wanted everyone's thoughts and opinions on the matter at hand. I am in no way trying to call out Paramount or the actors, nor necessarily the author. Her behavior is a little odd considering the circumstances. I have definitely seen other authors call out or disparage film adaptations (i.e. Stephen King, Ursula Le Guin, to name a couple) of their work. However, that was once the film/project was OUT. Obviously, we don't know what happened behind the scenes but hopefully the truth does come out. I really want the film to do well, as it means the chances of more sci-fi fantasy BIPOC or Indigenous American projects might get a chance to come to the big screen or small screen.

The cat distribution system has finally selected me 🥹

We found this stray black kitten under our house. I have decided to keep him. He has no mom or siblings as far as I can tell. He was all alone 😭

I need ideas for a name. Something gothic, dark academia, Halloween related etc. preferably book related but open to anything!

Every time I remember that the Earthseed duology are a part of an incomplete series that Butler planned before her untimely death, I get very sad. I loved the first book and there’s a parable from the planned book 3 floating around online that makes me yearn for what the series would have done if completed.

I’m about to delve into Parable of the Talents and when I’m done, I want to try the Patternmaster books with Wildseed first, of course.

For anyone who read both of these sagas, which of the series of books did you prefer? Patternmaster does sound cool asf!
