2.0

it clearly was trying to do something it really didn’t succeed at. suffers from being a novella for sure. and the prose is a bit bland for my tastes, though the story ideas are interesting. i might read on but not right now.

A powerful story exploring mental strength, empathy and compromise in the most difficult circumstances.

I immediately liked and rooted for Binti our protagonist and enjoyed the direction Dr Nnedi Okorafor wanted to take us. I went in knowing nothing and prefer it that way so was not thinking about anticipating anything just watching the story unfold.

The world building and clear cultures and species set up in her feels so real. Can't wait to keep reading

3.5

I'm not the biggest fan of medusas or these type of animals but it was interesting nonetheless. Sometimes it was a bit repetitive.

Less than 100 pages but it drew me in so deeply. I was not expecting to love this book as much as I did. Bravo.
