Anyway, Binti returns home but her family are dead, except they’re not really, and there are two races at war with each other but it’s almost impossible to keep straight because Okrafor is more interested in Binti’s feels than she is setting the scene. It doesn’t help that the title refers to a nightmarish figure who appears to Binti, and yet the name of it – the Night Masquerade – clearly indicates it’s a f*ck*ng fake but everyone is too f*ck*ng stupid to realise.
But it was much better than this one, in which this happens and then that happens and then something else happens and then Binti is killed and then she comes back to life and then it all abruptly ends. I read the first, and thought it interesting, if not particularly well put-together. It doesn’t help that Binti: The Night Masquerade is the third and, I think, final part in the Binti series.
Show More her I’ve read has struck me as simplistic and badly-written.
