I have read very few dystopian genre books but this book has made me a fan. Kindreds is a very impressive debut novel from Mura. The characters are well developed and likable and the story moving and compelling. The story nicely unfolds and is well paced and a real page turner. Mura took on a lot - touching on topics such as sexism, discrimination, segregation and race but she did it all so beautifully. I really could not put it down as I was immersed in Raine's world and her story and I just wanted to read it all in one sitting. It was that compelling to me. I read and review a lot of books and very rare do you find such descriptive writing, relatable characters and an engaging story from a debut novel. Hands down, this is the best book I've read all year from a first time author and I eagerly await her next book.
