Interesting - leaves you wanting to know more about the world and the people in it
andrewhatesham's review against another edition
The plot felt like it was rushing so I didn't think I'd be able to properly get invested in it. It also felt like a combination of sci-fi, fantasy, and YA, when I expected it to only be a sci-fi book. This just wasn't for me.

A fascinating read that really talks about the importance of home and culture and how othering can still happen even in space. I found the plot really interesting but I didn't find the writing style as compelling. I still want to read the other novella's in this series though because I want to see how the characters develop!
ps. I love that in this galaxy math is essentially the language of the universe and that people who are exceptional at it are called harmonizers!
pps. The views expressed in this review are my own and do not reflect the views of Indigo Books & Music or any of its subsidiaries.

Wildly interesting. Okorafor introduces a futuristic world populated with deeply traditional people (and aliens). There were many tantalizing tidbits that I'd love to know more about. Like how is the space ship an actual fish??!?
