Binti is leaving her earthly home to travel to an intergalactic university. With her unique background and gifts, Binti knows it will be challenging but she is willing to say goodbye to her desert home and family to take this incredible opportunity. On the journey, though, tragedy strikes and only Binti is able to sort through the madness and save herself - but at what cost?
This is a novella, so super short. I LOVED the Afro-tech-speculativeness of it. So lovely. Her customs, her intelligence, the aliens she encounters - I just thought it was a fast moving and really interesting story. It's not perfect and the resolution is very tidy considering all that happens before but for me, I was all in with this fantastical science fiction world where one girl can make such a difference.
