The was my favorite of the Binti trilogy! I suppose it’s the book where it all comes together but even still. It was the longest and I felt like I knew Binti better and the Himba people and how they relate to others around them. Very timely commentary on war and how there are disputes no one can even remember why they are fighting they just believe the stories and hate passed down generation to generation. I was a little surprised in parts - a few twists and I wasn’t sure how it would be resolved, if at all. Okorafor has made an incredible world with so much detail. I want the Binti movie!!

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.
