I think Binti is a cute title for such a tiny little book. I think Binti is a brave smart girl that has a bright, yet challenging future ahead of her. It was sad at times and pissed me off too (scene with the ladies touching her hair). This book is written well, tackles prejudice, identity and war. A bit technical at times, but I moved passed it. Excited to continue the series.
