Wow! The author describes this in such an amazing way. I can truly visualize what is happening in the story. It's a year after the first story, Binti and her Meduse counterpart, Okwu are studying at the university. She is suffering from PTSD, and the changes that overtook her body after her ini...

3.75 stars ( a small deduction for ending on a cliffhanger)Home picks up a year after the events of the previous novella. Binti and Okwu are attending to their studies at Oomza Uni, where they are both having difficulties adjusting to their new lives. Okwu, warlike and at odds with its instructor,...
