Reseñas de la Crítica

"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)

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.

Again Beautiful!

Again, the narration is flawless! The writing is beautiful, eloquent, and concise, and the story is one of the most unique and beautifully rendered science fiction I've experienced! On to book 3!

Great afro-futuristic story!

This story feels like part of a series! I any wait for the next one!

Loving This New Perspective

This writer has such an interesting voice and a terrific page turning style. The narrator is engaging and one of the better narrators I’ve ever listened to. I am so happy that I decided to give this series a chance. The second book is just as good, if not even better than, the first!

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.

An Emotionally Intense Story!

In this second story, we follow Binti home as she attempts to understand the changes that are happening to her.

I found the emotional drama between Binti and her family gripping. Nnedi Okorafor is able able to subtly increase the intensity of her story without you realizing that things have escalated. In the span of this short story I found myself proud, then pitying, shocked, and slightly angry.

When you think of it, this is truly how we experience emotions in reality. It is never just one thing only. We have a mixture of emotions and reactions to people we care about. And that is what Okarafor has accomplished. She has made this alien fantasy world with struggles of prejudices and learned ignorance of other cultures. We look at this family that struggles with a member that wants something different and we realize that we have all probably been on both sides of this situation at some point.

I found this to be a well written story with great imagination.

The narrator, Robin Miles, does a good job with the African accent. She brings across the insecurities Binti has well and has a quite soothing tone to her narration.

Good Read.

The performance and the story were great, only reason it got an overall for 4 was because I was completely lost at first. that's mostly my fault though. since I didn't read the first book. this was assigned as a reading for class. Probably would've received flying colors otherwise.

A lovely build

I love Okorafor and this sequel does not disappoint. It inspires complicating our thoughts about the meaning of identity, the role and place of family and heritage, and the costs and blessings of a life lived as a journey into the unknown. Five stars!
