by Nnedi Okorafor
This is the final volume of the Binti trilogy and finds Binti dealing with a war between the Khoush and the Meduse and its effects on her home and family. She also discovers more about her extended family and heritage, which prompts more transformation. The outcome of the military conflict and of Binti's character arc go in directions I was not expecting but found very satisfying. I really loved how Binti struggled with integrating all the physical and emotional changes she underwent - she wasn't always brave or stoic or mature or controlled about it. I liked her emotional outbursts - they were very real and relatable. It all provides a fascinating exploration of identity, self-discovery, and change.
