I read Home a couple of weeks after reading Binti. I enjoyed this book, also, and am looking forward to the next installment.

Okorafor takes more time to develop the story in this book, which is good, and I feel that her characters and their circumstances have greater verisimilitude as a result. I do fear that the protagonist, Binti, may come to suffer from Aylaism (my own word for a character who becomes too much of an archetype or symbol, being the first to do this and the first to do that, ad nauseum, losing their humanity and believably in the process, like Ayla in the Clan of the Cave Bear series).
