Just, wow! What a stunning series and beautiful close to the trilogy. I am in awe of how carefully and intricately woven this story was, and it inspires me to find hope where it feels impossible. Thank you Nnedi Okorafor!

This was a strong conclusion to this series and my favorite of the trilogy. Thematically, it wrapped up very well and I enjoyed the themes explored of identity and family. This was a great experience on audiobook as well.

A really interesting series, very imaginative, very poignant and entertaining.
An original futuristic sci-fi tale of an African tribe girl who wishes to escape Earth and her family trap and study in the outer space university.
Binti escapes during night cover and boards the ship that will change her destiny forever. The only survivor of an attack on the ship by the aliens Meduse she will suffer the trauma but also the strange connection to her aggressors, who she gets to know in order to survive, especially to Okwu, with whom she shares her unique kind of magic and power. Undoubtedly changed physically and mentally Binti will face many challenges and ordeals to change the way the cosmos sees the aggressive and aggrieved Meduse, and to change the racism her people on Earth still suffer.
Liked the first book, but enjoyed the second more although I missed Okwu’s participation in it, the last was my favourite and overall the series was a solid 4⭐️.
