Oh. . . wow. I don't know what other words to use for this book. No, for this conclusion to the trilogy. It was phenomenal. If I had thought the last book went places? Well, I was wholly unprepared for this one. The storytelling was beautiful and evocative and powerful and. . .

Just left me feeling such a variety of emotions as I concluded this journey alongside Binti. I laughed, I cried, I raged, I celebrated alongside her and Okwu. And then there's Mwinyi who. . . I have no words. I don't often get into the whole book boyfriend thing some readers do, but he's definitely a character who makes me understand why they do.

Once again, the narration for this was top notch. I am always left reeling by how much more powerful the emotions are in this series cause of the talented Robin Miles. I definitely have to check out more of their work. These books deal with some difficult, deep emotions given all of what Binti goes through yet the delivery is always excellent. Quality work.

All I can say now is that I am excited beyond words for this series to be adapted and hope, hope, hope Hulu does the adaptation the justice it deserves and more. And that, of course, I will definitely be checking out more work by Nnedi Okorafor who I think might now be an auto-buy author for me.
