A review by cjwitch
Binti by Nnedi Okorafor

adventurous emotional hopeful tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

4.5

This is a short and wonderful read. For being less than 100 pages, Nnedi Okorafor somehow managed to showcase an incredibly well-developed and interesting universe with a unique magic system and intriguing organic technology. 

Binti was engaging, the characters interesting, and the plot quick but deep. Some of the darker aspects of the plot felt a little glossed over, but the depth of Binti’s character and richness of her background and identity are such that the story never feels lacking. 

Every page of this book is so incredibly well written and breathtaking. I will definitely be reading the rest of this series and checking out other works by this author!
