fast-paced
4.0
Binti by Nnedi Okorafor is a fascinating and quick read.
I loved the cultures we glimpsed in this novella, as well as the unexpected direction the story goes. I went in blind, so when we started off accompanying a young mathematician on her way to university, I did not anticipate the story turning as dark as it did.
For me personally, I think the story itself would have worked much better in a longer format though. The full on turns felt a bit too quick and "easy" for me to really get behind them.
The prose and world worked very well, and I was intrigued easily, I would have preferred a deeper dive into the whole world though.
