In the latest installment in Okorafor's immersive series, Binti must use all her skills and power as a Master Harmonizer to end the war between the Khoush and Meduse. Narrator Robin Miles's earnest tones and increasing urgency heighten Binti's journey, while her pacing and precision ground readers in the history essential to this series. Capturing the ferocity and intimacy of the story, Miles gracefully highlights difficult conversations and hard-won moments, illuminating the resilience and tenacity of the characters. Melding vivid imagery and inventive futuristic concepts, Okorafor constructs a narrative deeply rooted in concepts of home and selfhood and rife with creative technology and world building . This space opera of science and mathematics is completely unique and refreshing. K.S.B. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
