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.

4.0

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.
