This one was just okay for me. This is my third read by Nnedi Okorafor, and I think I’m finally accepting that her writing style might just not be for me. The plot itself was interesting, but I didn’t connect with Binti as a character, which made it hard for me to stay engaged.
Binti follows a young woman who leaves Earth to attend the best university in the galaxy. When her spacecraft is attacked by hostile aliens, she becomes the only survivor and must find a way to communicate, survive, and change the course of an intergalactic conflict.
This is book one of a trilogy and a very quick novella, which I appreciated. While I didn’t love it, I can see why this series works for so many people. The ideas are strong, even if the execution didn’t fully land for me.
