Then I saw that there was an adaptation of the series on Hulu. I decided to give it a try because, why now? I could always turn it off. I ended up really liking it and it ended on a cliff hanger, so I knew I would have to pick up the book.

Since she keeps getting transported back to the pre-civil war south, you see a lot of time-period typical violence, racism, etc.alpaca_in_space's review against another edition
