When Binti decides to go to school on a different planet, her family is proud of her acceptance but concerned about her leaving. They have no idea that she’ll be required to use her skills as a harmonizer sooner than she ever could have imagined and that, when she does, the stakes will be life and death.
Binti is a great primer for what I am confident will be a strong series, but it is quite slow and it ends suddenly.
I am looking forward to reading the next book and enjoyed the world building in this one. The way that Okorafor uses math as a foundation for things that are not stereotypically considered mathematical is really interesting.
This was another audio book listen for me. I enjoyed the narrator but it seemed like they set the levels poorly. I struggled to hear her if I was in the car listening.
