Book Review: Binti, by Nnedi Okorafor

I don’t read a lot of science fiction, but I kept hearing a lot of good things about Binti… This read followed a disappointing tale by another award-winning novelist. Much to my delight, Binti was well worth the time.

“Smoke & Summons” by Charlie N. Holmberg is a fast-paced story full of demons and thugs, chase scenes and close calls. The magic is intriguing and layered: innocents particularly talented at hosting dangerous demons, and ancient artifacts full of strange powers. The setting simmers with history and lore we only glimpse briefly. I want to see more! www.robinlythgoe.com
