Binti: Home picks up a year after Binti. Here we get a look into a deeper look into the conflict between the Khoush and the Meduse. We also get more of the Meduse's history. What's great about this book is that it's written with the intent of someone going home for summer vacation and bringing a friend home. In this case, the friend is an alien, whose species was/are willing to commit genocide to prove a point. But, we see Binti grows as she learns more of her lineage, and is tested in unexpected ways.
