This was my first introduction to Octavia Butler (ironic given it was her last novel) and it's very much my thing! The chemical symbiosis fascinates me, as do the questions about consent and coercion it brings up. I also found the vampire politics interesting, if a bit hard to follow at times, and I became attached to Shori as a character rather quickly.
