There's a lot I can say about this book, but what I loved the most about it was the characters. They are so complex. Each and every chapter added depth to the characters. My opinions on them were constantly changing; I don't think I've ever changed favorite characters as often as I did reading this book. My feminist side also couldn't help but love that there were quite a few strong female characters, especially in a world with such a patriarchal culture.
I also love when authors are able to not only create really fleshed out worlds, but also come up with a rich history to go with it. After reading A Game of Thrones, I couldn't help but really look forward to getting to the rest of the series and learning more about this world and its past.
There's a lot more I could say, but I'll just leave it at that for now. Overall, I definitely enjoyed this book; it took me over a week to read, though it didn't feel that way at all. Time flew while reading it just because it was so easy to get into. I can't wait to get to the rest of the series!

That was surprisingly good!
The world was actually pretty complex, and yet halfway through this less than 80 page novella I was already sucked into it. I didn't think it was possible for an author to build such an interesting world, present such an interesting plot and cause me to become emotionally attached to a story, with so few pages.
It was Brandon Sanderson though, so I shouldn't be surprised.

I enjoyed this read enough, but I was pretty underwhelmed by the end. Maybe this author's writing just isn't for me, since I recall feeling a similar way about Akata Witch.
I appreciated a lot of the details - explanations of Binti's culture, descriptions of some of the technology, etc. I also generally liked Binti, the main character.
Midpoint onwards though, I had difficulty suspending my disbelief while reading this plot. Relationships that formed didn't feel natural, terrible events seemed to be magically forgiven, and all of this combined made the ending feel pretty forced to me.
