Bloodchild Analysis

Octavia’s work is vivid, descriptive, and lush. The level of detail, from the
descriptions of the food to the gore was cringe-worthy, very well done
but hard to stomach.
I connected on a personal level, since I also have a sister I would do
anything for. Wanting to protect and save family is incredibly personal
and a character choice that makes sense.

Very creepy. It was interesting to reverse the role as was discussed,
though I agree with the discussion on what levels of ‘healthy consent’
were present. If his sister was being threatened and he stepped up to
save her, that’s being held over his head. Compare it to the hunger
games, Katniss never wanted involvement either.
