When I write that I wept in this review, it was the ugly kind of bawling that happens when you get very attached to characters.

The world building, the characters, the technology, the journey..  Impeccable.

I have now finished the whole Trilogy from this bind up including the short story sacred fire and I loved it so much.

These books pack a punch. There is so much reflection on being human and things that reflect our society within this futuristic world and mix of fictional species, cultures and races. How this world could feel so real within such a short space of time. The personal journey Binti goes on and her friendships, relationships with her family etc. is astounding. 

The end wrapped up the series so well and I really felt we came full circle. I had an amazing journey and can't wait to read more from this author! 😃💜📚
