In the late seventeenth century, two immortals meet in an African forest. Anyanwu is a healer, a three-hundred-year-old woman who uses her wisdom to help those around her. The other is Doro, a malevolent despot who has mastered the power of stealing the bodies of others when his wears out. Together they will change the world.
Over the next three centuries, Doro mounts a colossal selective breeding project, attempting to create a master race of telepaths. He succeeds beyond his wildest dreams, splitting the human race down the middle and establishing a new world order dominated by the most manipulative minds on Earth.
In these four novels, award-winning author Octavia E. Butler tells the classic story that began her legendary career: a mythic tale of the transformation of civilization.

I loved Mind of my Mind and Wild Seed, was only ok with Patternmaster, and don't know what to think about Clays Ark, since it was strong overal before the ending ended up being a mess. In general, this is a series worth reading. All the books are so different from each other but still manage to build on each other in some way. If you want to experience a whole new dimension of worldbuilding, creating and showing a history of a fascinating society, read this series. If you don't like of of the books, you might still enjoy some of the others, since the characters, setting and periods are totally different each time and I would even put them in different (sub)genres. Since no one would read an in-depth review of 4 books here, I will leave a link to my blog, where I will discuss them over the next days, if you really care check that out. https://steemit.com/books/@dedmops/thoughts-on-patternmaster-octavia-e-butler-s-seed-to-harvest To everyone else: Just get this book, it's mostlly the price of one quality paperback, so you got your moneys worth if you only liked one already. It is more wholesome than other series are able to and it will definetly be interesting at least.
