"Blutbuch" ist eine sehr persönliche Geschichte. Kim schreibt über die Kindheit, das Aufwachsen mit einer Mutter und Großmutter die mal mehr und mal weniger freundlich und offen sind. 
Darauf folgt die Adoleszenz, Zeit des eigenen Findens und Rebellion gegen die Bezugspersonen. 

Besonders interessant fand ich die Stammbäume der Vorfahren der Großmeer. So viele unterschiedliche Frauen und Geschichten und wie sie sich alle durch das Leben geschlagen haben.
