The Night Masquerade by Nnedi Okorafor
2.0
War is looming on the horizon. Can Binti, struggling with her ancestry, PTSD, and death, try to broker for peace?
.. This felt like some entity took over author's body and written the second part of the novel. Stuff gets thrown in, everything is explained, not shown, Binti becomes Mary Sue, gazillion new characters are introduced, there is sudden! romance, and.. it felt like some weird fan-fiction. No character depth, plot was all over the place...
I give up. I should've read just the first book. The only thing that saves this from 1 star treatment is first half of the book - before everything went off to cuckoo land.
