Ahoy there me mateys! Yesterday I reviewed binti, the first novella in the series. It was so good I had to immediately read the second one. If ye haven’t read the first book then ye might want to skip this post and go read me review of that one. If ye keep reading this log then ye have been forewarned and continue at yer own peril . . .

This was a great second installment. In this novella, Binti goes home to see her parents and family for the first time since leaving them without any warning a year ago. We get to see Binti continue to struggle to come to terms with her new role in the family. She continues to defy gender norms and expectations handed down to her from birth. As she changes and grows she has to make decisions about if she will accept the consequences of her choices in order to find her own destiny.

The world-building and characterization continue to be exquisite. The exploration of tribal life and modernity continue to be explored. It was another quick read. I will certainly be reading the last novella in the series once I get ahold of it. Arrr!
