A novella about a tribal girl called Binti who walks away from her family to go to a special college that no-one in her tribe has ever gone to. On the ship to the college, something terrible happens and binti finds herself being a peacemaker.

This was a really interesting novella packed with traditions, culture and interesting new technology. I really loved Binti's journey to her college and the events that happened. I did imagine the Meduse as giant squids for most of the novella which is probably very wrong, but oh well. I loved hearing about Binti's tribe and all their traditions such as the clay she spreads on her skin and the different way people in her tribe can shame themselves. I also liked the friendship that grew between Binti and the Meduse and how they grew to respect her. I feel like I got enough story but at the same time I'd gladly read more.
