This was so much fun!
I didn't feel let down by its short length - it told a fun and interesting story very simply and effectively. And managed to make Binti and her enemy-turned-friend very endearing. I also really appreciated the allegory, as well as the hopeful (but still realistic and not cheesy) message.
The pacing was a bit wacky in the beginning, but I also understand getting straight to the point.
I'm not much of a scifi person, so a lot of the worldbuilding didn't really grab me, but I still really enjoyed it.
Can't wait to read the others!
