I tend to read a lot of very long books, and this was a good reminder that you really don’t need 500 pages to build an interesting world and complex characters! I was actually surprised how satisfied I was with the ending, usually I hate anything being over too quicky

Lo bueno, si breve, dos veces bueno, y en este caso, más todavía, porque ha sido ¡muy bueno!

Binti es una novela muy cortita, muy amena, muy fácil de leer, y muy entretenida. La historia es simple, pero engancha.

Para gente a la que le gusta la ciencia-ficción es un must. Y para aquellos que no son afines al género, es un buen libro para darle una oportunidad a este tipo de historias.

¡Genial novela!

Interesting - leaves you wanting to know more about the world and the people in it

The plot felt like it was rushing so I didn't think I'd be able to properly get invested in it. It also felt like a combination of sci-fi, fantasy, and YA, when I expected it to only be a sci-fi book. This just wasn't for me.

A little novella about race, space, and unity
