Not much to say other than I don't think this short story needed to exist as a standalone. It was enjoyable to read but I think this could have been added to the first book rather than it being its own book.

Love this look into how Binti is settling into her knew home and dealing with the aftermath of everything shes gone through

I enjoyed this quite a bit more than the first novella. Finally getting some relationships and understanding of who Binti is as a person. Solid.

Great insight into Binti's character and how she begins to cope with her trama. I still didn't vibe with the writing style though unfortunately and I wish the side characters were fleshed out more because I like them!

this short story bridges the first and second book- I appreciated this story as it expands on Binti’s psyche: she is suffering from panic attacks from witnessing the murder of her university fellows. So yea, she’s not doing great.
