Critic Reviews

"Nnedi Okorafor writes glorious futures and fabulous fantasies. Her worlds open your mind to new things, always rooted in the red clay of reality. Prepare to fall in love with Binti." (Neil Gaiman, New York Times best-selling author)

Abrupt Conclusion

i enjoy this series for what it's worth but this addition ends in an abrupt manner that left me startled. It was only beginning at the end, there was internal conflict (partially resolved), new characters introduced (no where near being fleshed out), new areas and concepts introduced (threads left loose and tangled together), and external conflict just beginning! I was ready to hunker down and be immersed deeper into the world and I was flatly denied.
Honestly, this book is near twice as long as the first but feels emptier.
I hope the third installment fixes the above issues.

Ends in the Middle

I really like Nnedi Okorafor. She brings a new point of view to the Science Fiction genre, which is really what the genre is all about. The character of Binti is an archetypical outsider, who finds her strength in the fact that she is part of more than one group, but doesn't truly belong to any.

My one problem with this book, is that it the end comes too soon. There is not even a partial resolution at the point where it stops. I'm eagerly awaiting the next installment, but really would have preferred if Okorafor had added another 10,000 words to come to some semblance of an ending to this installment.

Phenomenal book

A remarkable book. It out does the first entry by leaps and bounds. This is some of the most unique and wonderful scifi available. The unique cultures and worlds come together are nothing short of amazing. I've already started the sequel.

Exciting!

Loved it! Keeps you engaged and captivated on this journey. Great narrator brilliantly written.

Loved the entire series!

My mother has been telling me for awhile that I needed to read Ms. Okorafor's works, so on a whim, I purchased Binti. This was definitely a "can't stop listening to it" series. Robin Mills was a perfect narrator for this, it truly brought the story to life for me. I'll be listening to this again, just like I read favorites books over and over.

Great

Loved it and the narrator was a very good story teller who made me feel good about the story.

Book 2 another great one.

I am NJ in love wi ttb this series. the culture and story captivated. It brings back memories of my home and traditions. I wish the books were longer.

Boring

I was hoping this would be better than the first one but it’s just as boring.

I love these books

the world that Nnedi has crafted perfectly blends tradition with wildly new world and they interweave and speak to each other. The first book was a struggle for survival through change and understanding, this book was a journey for knowledge and family ties and I'm eager to read the third one right now because I want to k ew what happens.

Excellent

loving this series and blazing through the catalog
got to see what happens next with Binti
