Blood Music absolutely terrified me as a freshman in high school
I'm jealous you got to read Blood Music in high school. Though Chrysalids was also great and turned me into a long time sci-fi fan. Despite the horribly hypocritical ending.
My Biology teacher actually made us read that one. Big sci fi nerd, that guy. I haven't read Chrysalids, I'll have to check it out
It mostly holds up. The ending though... It's a product of its time.
