Unsure of which Octavia Butler book to read next

So far, I have read Bloodchild & Other Stories, listened to the audiobook of Kindred, and very recently read Parable of the Sower. I can now confidently say that Butler is one of my favorite writers!

I have the sequel, Parable of the Talents sitting on my bookshelf, but I'm debating if I should read it next or start the Xenogenisis trilogy, which I just picked up from the library. I very much enjoyed Parable of the Sower, but it was quite slow paced, and, IMO, not as strong of a novel as Kindred. I've been very curious to check out Xenogenisis for a while, but for those who have read both, is it worth starting a completely different series, or should I just read Parable of the Talents first?
