A review by fatkidatheartreads
Kindred by Octavia E. Butler

4.0

Dana's savior complex was such a breeding ground for complacency. She is probably one of the most frustrating characters I have ever read about. I'm so glad I got to buddy read this book with my bestie Ashleigh, because I had so many thoughts!!! The audacity of Dana thinking that Rufus would forget she was black. Sis! Just thinking about her actions is making me angry all over again. 🙃🙃

Like I said to Ashleigh, I wish we got this same book but from one of the other slave's POV. Like Sarah or Alice... People who got to see Dana 'escape' for a while and come back. I wonder if they harbor resentment for her 'privileges' and I wish we got to read about it.
