Looove Okorafor’s work. She manages to connect you to the main character (whom at least I have absolutely nothing in common with) and expose the same longing for identity and acceptance in myself; all the while spinning a gorgeous world behind my eyes that I swear I almost know the smell of otjize myself.

Home builds on where we left off with Binti, answering questions and replacing them with further ones.
I continue to love Binti as a character, her relationships and sense of who she is and what she can do. From everything she has gone through we see the fallout for her choices and expand on the difficult and highly unique situation she and her friend are in.
Binti confronts who was, is now and who she wants to be.
The world building is excellent and these novellas are full to the brim of things to think about!

Excellent second book in the trilogy of the Binti series. In Home, Binti comes home in several ways.  And not the ways she expects.  These are great reads for people starting their interest in Afrofuturism.  Short but detailed, easy to read but full of character and world building.
