I'm so glad I came back to the world of Nnedi Okorafor! It's been a long time coming that I needed to continue with the Binti series and this second installment did not disappoint.
We follow Binti as she and Okwu come back to her home for a visit and she will see what has happened since she left. However, Binti is facing mental health issues related to events from the first book and is also feeling disconnected from her culture.
I loved the blend of cultural heritage with the science fiction elements as well as Binti's internal struggle with her mental health and her search for her own identity and where she fits between all the different cultures and places that she's now connected to.
Highly recommend this series! On to the third one for me.
