Review: Fledgling

Fledgling by Octavia E. Butler

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Sadly there is no sequel to this fantastic take on vampires, as Octavia Butler passed on in 2006. This is truly a sad circumstance as this tale is absolutely bursting to the brim with "new" vampiric folklore, ideas and a storyline that is crying out for expansion, exploration and resolution. It is a little dry and somewhat academic in the telling, and there was the odd typo, but Fledgling<i/> makes up for it with sheer inventiveness and all round general fantastic-ness.
