i liked this but it very much felt like it was just setting the stage for the final installment of the trilogy. could also maybe benefit from the "show, don't tell" philosophy, lol

I continue to love the world-building, but I agree with a lot of the reviews here. I feel like a novella should be a fully fleshed out story, and that fleshed out story happens to be the length of about 150 pages. Instead this felt like the skeleton of a full length novel that just wasn't given the space to grow. Will continue the series, but I feel like it does not fit the format.

I really enjoy that Binti bumps into all kinds of different alien races on her adventures.
The math parts still take me out of the flow of the story, but math and I were never really friends.
I am glad that we are not shoving everything under a rug. PTSD is real, even in space. (Actually, if I think about it, not a lot of things have changed, except for the technological advancements. People are still people, even when they are not human.)
I have some issues with the pacing. Everytime I felt like yes, this is good, let's get more into that, we were suddenly taking a left turn to do something else and that is the hardest part for me to wrap my head around.
My heart goes out for Binti though. Little kid Binti who just wanted to dance and ran away from home. Teen Binti who wanted to go where nobody from her tribe has been and ran away from home. 17 year old Binti who wants to go home, but doesn't know what it is and where it is.

I didn't do a whole bunch of things I should have done tonight because I had to finish *Home.* Could not stop reading, and immediately went and ordered *The Night Masquerade* when I did finish.
