On finishing the novel, I did not see the point in. Lauren having ‘sharing’ or why it was really necessary to the plot of the novel. I know we found other settlers of Acorn that also had it. I know that it made Lauren’s journey through the wasteland much harder, but I found it made me feel less immersed in the middle of a battle when she would wound an attacker and then she too would be wounded. It took me out of the action scenes and made me want to know what was happening with Harry, Zhara, or the other travelers.
I’m interested to know how others felt about Lauren’s hyper-empathy? And did it enhance the reading experience for you? I wonder if Butler had a larger plan for the Empaths in the trilogy and this novel was just the introduction.
