Su nombre es Binti, y es la primera de los himba a la que se le ha ofrecido una plaza en Oomza Uni: la mejor institución de enseñanza superior de la galaxia. Aceptar esta oferta significará abandonar su casa, su familia y viajar a través de las estrellas entre extraños que no comparten su forma de ser ni respetan sus costumbres.

Lo que Binti no sabe es que el conocimiento le costará caro. Una sanguinaria raza alienígena, las medusas, amenazan su viaje y, para poder sobrevivir, necesitará la ayuda de su pueblo y de la sabiduría contenida en la Universidad.

Ganadora de un premio Hugo en 2016, un Nébula en 2015 y nominada al Locus, Binti es una historia intensa y condensada. En Binti comprobaremos cómo funcionan los prejuicios con los que crecemos y cómo se desmorona este sistema de creencias cuando se trata de afrontar lo desconocido. …

Just perfect

I love these kinda books: Shorter books with an extremely unique world that don't worry about a tidy ending. This is a thee book series, and it was good, but I mighta just has been as happy if I'd stopped after this one.

review of "Binti"

there were so many fresh ideas in this book and I really enjoyed Binti's perspective, and how the main "superpower" is understanding one another.

I wasn't a big fan of the "mathematical trance" thing, idk it felt weird. If it had just been meditation, it would have been more convincing for me.

Review of 'Binti' on 'LibraryThing'

I loved that this is a sci-fi/action novel in which the driving conflict is not resolved by force or technology, and I love the picture it paints of the interstellar-cosmopolitan university. I wanted more character development--a bit more of Binti ethnicity and excellence, but mainly a few other fleshed-out characters--but I'm also mindful of how short a book this is. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series and wonder if it will scratch that itch.
