etienne02 's review for:

Binti by Nnedi Okorafor
3.0

I don,t really understand the hyped over that book. Its not a bad one, but just not has great has the reviews made me think it was. There is a strong diversity/acceptance in therm of races/species behind the story which is good and the universe is great, well made, original and immersive for a short story. All great point so far. The problem for me was that the story in itself was a bit boring. It's kind of slow and there not much happening in term of action. It made me think about the Metamorphosis by Kafka in some ways and with a scyfy touch to it. It hard to explain and the more I try the more I look terrible doing it, so I will try to closed this review soon... But it feel to slow to me, too much thing left unexplained, maybe too ambitious for a really short story, I'm not sure, but there is something that didn't please me. Good and bad in this one!
