Kindred (Black Women Writers Series) by Octavia E. Butler [1988] by Octavia E. Butler

I thought I would like this more. It was a cool book as far as seeing what plantation life would have been like, but sometimes the conversations dragged on a lot.

HOLY HELL, this book was incredible. A time-travel, slave narrative and just a great piece of fiction that I cannot believe I hadn't heard of before this year.

It can't really put my finger on it - but I found the book to be simply a little unsatisfying with a few loose ends. If I could give it 3.5 stars I would but I do not think it merits 4 stars.

I'd go 4.5 but rounded up because it was better than 4. The story was so well done. The author was no where in the book - only Dana telling her own tale. I look forward to reading this again and telling everyone else that they should read it if they haven't.
