Chapter 85: Noah Ruins Everything. Can't blame him for trying though. Now that we've switched to Kizzy as the POV character, things seem to be clipping along much more quickly. We've covered almost a year in one chapter, whereas we spent several chapters on getting Kunta acquainted with his new surroundings.

Through chapter 100. For a seven-generation family saga, this story seems to spend a lot of time focusing on two guys. Kizzy's time as the POV character is just long enough for her to give birth to George. Maybe there just isn't much to say about the life of a field hand, but sometimes it feels like the women exist just to chastise the men and to bear children.

Chapter 76: Way past due for an update. It's the year 1800, which by my figuring has Kunta at 50 years old. I'll fill in the gaps later.

Through chapter 22, wherein Kunta is taken away for manhood training.

Really good so far. We're still in Kunta's childhood; I think he's around eight years old, because the kafo (school cohort) above him just went kut out for manhood training, and there seems to be a noticeable age difference between kafos. Kunta also just had an extended dream sequence about being a legendary buffalo hunter instead of watching his goats. Be careful out there; bad things lurk in the forest.
