evaromero's review against another edition

3.0

Lo he disfrutado un montón, pero hay cosas que no me acaban de cerrar. ⚠️ SPOILERS ⚠️En mi opinión, todo iba genial hasta que Binti resucita. Siento que esto estaba un poco sacado de la manga, y aunque me hubiera roto el corazón, hubiera preferido que muriera y ya. Es que después de saber que su familia en realidad ha sobrevivido al ataque en la Raíz, de repente que ella resucite en extrañas circunstancias y encima con todas las extremidades de su cuerpo, es un poco raro. Luego, el tema del edan????? wtf, que decepción más grande jajaja, no sé, lo pintaban como algo mega importante y épico, y al final es algo bastante intrascendente. En fin... igualmente es un mundo increíble y me ha gustado mucho. Team MEDUSA para siempre, amo a Okwu.

The was my favorite of the Binti trilogy! I suppose it’s the book where it all comes together but even still. It was the longest and I felt like I knew Binti better and the Himba people and how they relate to others around them. Very timely commentary on war and how there are disputes no one can even remember why they are fighting they just believe the stories and hate passed down generation to generation. I was a little surprised in parts - a few twists and I wasn’t sure how it would be resolved, if at all. Okorafor has made an incredible world with so much detail. I want the Binti movie!!
