Third and final book in Nnedi Okorafor’s *Binti* series. (I believe in my review of #2 earlier in the year I said there were four books in the series – not sure where I got that idea.) I won’t say anything about the plot of this one, because spoilers, but the series features a young woman from an insular people on earth who becomes the first of them to go to the galaxy’s finest university, located on a distant planet. In books two and three, she returns to earth. This book is the longest of the series, but it is still quite short. What I find most remarkable about all of them is how densely packed they are – with great story, with fascinating peoples and settings, and with ideas. There is just so much in here that both entertains and pushes you to think in new ways about home and family and tradition and difference and change and ‘progress’ and becoming. There were, I guess, four significant twists/reveals in this book, and I saw two of them coming well in advance, but I didn’t feel too bothered by that as I read. A great series.
