Noria's Reviews > Binti: The Complete Trilogy

*This is a review of the short story, Binti: Sacred Fire

Although I read all the novellas through this bind-up, I wasn't planning on reviewing this bind up because I wanted to give my reviews for each of the individual stories. But then I realized that Binti: Sacred Fire is the added short story to this collection that wasn't an initial part of the trilogy and I was shooketh because of what I've read so far (I've read Binti, Binti: Sacred Fire and Binti: Home), Binti: Sacred Fire, is my absolute favourite of the novellas so far. Reading about Binti dealing with the PTSD of the trauma she experienced in Binti was just mindblowing. And the fact that Nnedi is able to convey all of that in a novella has my mind blown! And now to realize that that people jumped straight from Binti to Binti: Home, and didn't read about Binti dealing with the trauma of the experience?!!! Wow. Thank the book gods that wasn't my story because there is an added level of humanity and depth that Binti: Sacred Fire brings to the whole series, that just makes an otherwise amazing story, phenomenal!
