The story is pretty good but moved really quickly. I would have appreciated more development for all the characters and more description of the surroundings.

This was a breath of fresh air for my Sci-Fi writing class. Not to say I don’t enjoy the work of classic science fiction writers, but Binti is just different. It felt more contemporary not just in its writing but in its contents. You see similar devices like aliens, intergalactic war, space tech, planetary schools. But all are used in a way that is fresh and unique. 11/10 can’t wait to read the next book ✨

It’s says their supposed to be 96, I only have 32, this book is a scam

I am so glad to read a sci-fi written in a manner that relates to my ethnicity

We need more of this.

Science-fiction setting & descriptive expectations. Fantasy magic in SF trappings, honestly. A little like Andre Norton in that respect, but taken even further and in a divergent direction. (Much less use of Norton's good/evil SF-magipsi tropes, but definitely magitech in spades.) Fairytale genre expectations. This is very important. Content-warning for a violent scene. Until you accept the fairytale genre expectations as the frame, some of the protagonist's reactions to it won't make sense and may feel like a flaw. Realize that the expectations are for something different than either science fiction or this era's fantasy, and it works better. I'm part-way into the sequel and I think the style is also evolving and improving. Always good when authors grow! (There's more humor in the next one, too.) I'm still going to keep my fairytale expectations in place, though.

Awesome couldn’t put it down

I really enjoyed this book. Excited to read the others. Hope the author gets a movie deal. Would love to see this on the big screen.

Excellent story!; but don't advertise as 96 pages when it's 69 including TOC, adds, bio, etc.

Fascinating sci-fi story with an original heroine!
