A review by storytimejess2
Kindred by Octavia E. Butler

dark emotional sad medium-paced

• Strong character development? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.5

Really incredible book! I love how it gets right to it and breaks a lot of tropes we’ve come to expect from time-travel stories. I will be thinking about this for a long time.
