Simultaneously the best and the most frustrating novel out of the series. It has more and more interesting plot, but it's too long, full of exposition and repetitive. There are some great moments though - Binti and the desert boy breaking each others taboos, the actual purpose of the edan. However, I wouldn't read it again.

Well I rooted, cheered, hoped, wished and cried. This end of this series brought closure (of sorts) but still left a couple things unfinished. I enjoyed this ride with Binti, seeing her navigate her being humanoid, meduse, and enyi zinaryi. Figuring out how to live apart from her tribe and still maintain its culture and traditions, learning how to use her new found powers, and trying to bring peace to the world. It was a thrilling ride.

I began with my feet yanked out from under me.... that's fair in such a book - wild ride. Hooray for Binti! this trilogy comes out like a coming of age for Binti, for humanity. I strongly recommend.

Loved the first one, Loved a lot of the ideas and some of the things that it was doing. I think this book had some more impactful moments than the second one but I still didn't enjoy it as much as the first. It was good but not great. This is a low 4 stars for me. And again, I am not big on Sci-fi in general so keep that in mind.

Wonderful thread of a story in a world that you can deeply feel, even without the benefit of many pages.

I'm glad these are out in a collected volume now, because a) you can barrel through them all at once, hooray! and b) this third one gives you a conclusion to Binti's story (probably?) ... but I didn't like it as much on its own as the other two. That's maybe an unfair bar, but there you go. Cannot recommend this *series* highly enough, unless you're someone who just can't handle reading things that happen in space.
So much happens in this book. And it picks up RIGHT after where the previous one left off, so on the one hand it feels like the second half of that story, and on the other hand like maybe it's 2-3 novellas worth of story. That's not horrible, but pacing does affect how events resonate.
