This part of the story starts a year after Binti gets to Uni that her family, friends and whole community did not want her to go to in the first place. And now she is coming home for her first visit. She didn't think it would be smooth. She only thought her family would have issues. But this was bigger than she expected bc she came home with her friend who is a Meduse, Okwu.
How big of an issue will their visit be? Apparently, a VERY big one. You will get sad and angry at certain points but this book will redeem itself.
I took off 1/2⭐ bc I felt it ended just a little abruptly. I would have loved an epilogue.
