I was very close to DNF Parable of the Sower, it was just so incredibly depressing. I didn’t realize that it would be more of an apocalyptic future sort of book and I would not have read it if I had known that it was. It was good, but I really don’t need to read about how bad climate change could be, it just makes my anxiety skyrocket. I had read Kindred before this one and that was sad as well, but it didn’t affect me like Parable of the Sower did. I think I liked Kindred more, the ending felt more satisfying and definite, the ending of Parable of the Sower was a lot more nebulous.

I picked this one up after reading its praises on this sub and couldn't finish it either. I just never found any of the characters very likeable and didn't enjoy the writing style at all. I think I gave up about 1/3 of the way in.
