Ah, I see. These 3 novellas are one Binti story. This one is like the second act, things get tense and start to change.
I've enjoyed learning along with her about the magic/tech she discovers.

Very excellent. Had to read the first short story for school and ended up reading the whole trilogy to see what happens. I'm glad I did! Highly recommended for sci-fi fans. There were times where I thought Bindi was acting too childish compared to how her character acts throughout the rest of the stories. But other than that, everything was amazing.

What can I say this is an awesome book! I love Binti and this world. I love the fact that it's less white-centric science fiction and more human/aliens/African culture science fiction. I've read science fiction my entire life and I find nothing wrong with most of it except for the lack of female characters and a centralized English speaking American characters. This is different and it is so diverse with new background characters that are transgendered, others are alien, the world Oomza Uni is all it is so new. The concepts are not but they way Nnedi Okorafor writes is just beautiful and she has written a universe that I'm wanting to inhibit.
I can't wait for the next installment. I promise I'll read that one faster.
