There are interesting ideas here, but the trilogy is painfully dull. I felt no interest in or attachment to any of the characters.
I found the Earthseed books much better but there's something about Butler's writing style that creates a sort of detachment from the characters. Maybe it's too matter of fact for me.
Still, I admire her take on alien life, their crazy biology and social structure etc.
