Review of 'Home (Binti, #2)' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

Binti: Home deals with anger, grief, and confusion, heading towards catharsis but still feeling tense for much of the book. Binti intends to take one journey but finds herself on another. It feels on edge, waiting for something to happen.

This book is full of grief and anger, and it feels more like part two of one long book rather than a second book in a series. It can be partially understood separately from Binti, but Binti needs this sequel in order to feel complete. This has the processing and the aftercare that Binti sorely needed, and ends with a taste of the action yet to come in the third book ([b:The Night Masquerade|34386617|The Night Masquerade (Binti, #3)|Nnedi Okorafor|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1495725402l/34386617.SY75.jpg|55477512], which I will read next).

This deals with several kinds of cultural prejudices, including a book-specific form of colorism, as well as xenophobia both with literal aliens and with …

Eh. The collected Binti that responds to conflict in a calm and rational manner (even if she doesn't feel calm) is gone. She's gone for a good (plot) reason, but it's the thing I loved about the first story that's gone. This one is much more stressful and ends on a cliffhanger. (I when I thought about it, it could have totally not ended on a cliffhanger like the first story.)

An great continuation in the Binti universe. This one really feels like a second part of the story and ends in a bit of a cliffhanger, but otherwise it was good to see more of Binti's experiences as she struggles to accept who she is, who her family wants her to be, and who she is becoming.

Home is the second Binti novella by Nnedi Okorafor and follows Binti as she heads home for her pilgrimage. Binti is changed by her experiences, both mentally and physically and does not fully belong in either place. It explores the feelings of returning home as a migrant. It's a bit slower than the first book and again I got the feeling that I'd have preferred it all as one longer book.

I love this creation - the character(s), the worlds, the situations

I don't love the writing or the structure of the story. I'm often close to picturing the scene or touching on understanding of a new wrinkle that is just slightly withheld or unexplained. In Okorafor's defense, I'm starting to wonder if it's the novella form that bothers me more than her skill as a story teller.
