I haven’t read a lot of science-fiction, I was never interested in it when I was a kid even though my dad tried to get me into it. But I also don’t decide what to read based on genre. If something sounds appealing I will read it, I don’t care what genre it is supposed to be. As for this novella, I don’t even remember how I found it but the summary sounded amazing so I decided to buy it. And I don’t regret buying it. I didn’t love it but I liked it and I’m curious about what happens next.
Binti is a young girl from an isolated community on Earth. Her people are scientifically advanced but the predominant culture considers them to be culturally backwards. Binti is a math genius and has been admitted to the prestigious Oomza University. However, her people never leave their land and her family tells her she can’t go. So Binti runs away.
Full review here.
I was so disappointed when I read this last year. I thought it was really underdeveloped.
It really is. I’m hoping the sequel will be better.
