Intriguing! If you're looking for sci-fi that's truly different, this one is for you. Would advise starting with book #1, but this second book really holds up. And being novellas, they don't need you to commit too much time - a nice change from some of the long sci-fi sagas I've been reading.
If only the ending didn't feel like a To-Be-Continued!

Much better than the first installment. Emotional payoffs feel
earned and the characters have more room to breathe and develop.

More inventive story/stories that follow closely on Binti's debut. She has been at Oomza Uni for a year (I think?), and it's time for her first trip home, to the desert in Namibia on Earth. It's a very eventful homecoming because she was never supposed to leave in the first place, and she brings with her a deadly friend, her schoolmate Okwu, whose species resembles air-floating squids.
I can't say too much about this without spoilers, so I'll just say: (1) Enjoyed it a lot! and (2) I'm eager for Binti, #3.

Took everything I loved about the first book and made it better. Ends on cliffhanger though, so eagerly awaiting final installment.
