No kissing

Binti and her Meduse friend Okwu have been at Oomza Uni for a year. Binti feels that the time is right to return home for her pilgrimage. Okwu will go with her as an ambassador for the Meduse.
Not only will her family see her physical changes for the first time, but Okwu is the first Meduse to visit Earth in peace in 100 years.
I really enjoyed this. I find the races and cultures fascinating. I also really like the narrator.

I am blown away by how much Okorafor packs into her books. I find myself drawn in and wondering how it will all unwind from the very first page. I am so grateful I found this great series and it's now part of my collection. I know I will come back to them again and again.
