Binti is a wonderful introduction to the world that Nnedi is creating. Here we are introduced to Binti and an alien species known as the Meduse. There's a lot that goes on here within the short amount of pages, but if you move on to the other two books, Home and The Night Masquerade, this introduction story is worth it.

What a unique story fit into such a small book with few words. I really enjoyed Binti and the journey she is on.

I'm not sure how I felt about it as I'm new to this genre. It was okay.

So much action and world-building packed into such a short story! The foundations of the world/universe is very well laid out and left me wanting more stories! The plot was fairly classic sci-fi but the execution was phenomenal. The alien species was amazing and given depth not often lent to antagonistic aliens. Incredible!

wasn't really feeling this one and would have dnf'd if it was longer.

In my head, I was thinking Black Panther the movie with a little harry potter thrown in.

its very short and havent really got much interest in the others in the series, unless someone tells me they get better. it wasnt a bad book just not for me i guess.
