The Night Masquerade by Nnedi Okorafor
3.0
Not my favorite series but I enjoyed Binti as a character and her ability to conjure currents and mathematics. This series has a very Octavia Butler Xenogenisis kind of vibe
An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz
4.0
A really important read. Very academic but wish I had read this while I was in high school. What really stuck out was some core tenants of settler colonialism which makes it easier to spot and see how it’s used today by the US and other colonial powers globally.
The Terraformers by Annalee Newitz
3.0
It was cozier than I expected but not quite my cup of tea with a book. I do appreciate how we were able to see the planet’s development over thousands of years and its impacts on its inhabitants. I also appreciated the ethical questions this booked raised. 3/5 stars is right on the nose for this book for me
