Namibia - Binti: The Night Maskerade - Nnedi Okorafor

 The Story:
The Final book in the Binti series gets the story lines nicely wrapped up. It picks up straight from the second book (Binti Home) and can't be seen really as a stand alone book. I kind of liked the book, but it just seemed a little lacking in new ideas, it seemed to repeat the trials and tribulations of the first book, and even the solution was pretty much the same as the first book. So it just felt a little lazy. 

 

I still really enjoyed the book, and the series in total, and loved the Namibian influence and cultural references in the book. So the trilogy has opened my eyes to African Science Fiction, and I'm fully committed. I doubt ticking off every African country is going to be an easy task, or even a possibility. But I know I'm going to find some great books!
