Chronicle During Books The Night Masquerade (Binti #3)
The concluding part of the highly-acclaimed science fiction trilogy that began with Nnedi Okorafor's Hugo- and Nebula Award-winning BINTI.Binti has returned to her home planet, believing that the violence of the Meduse has been left behind. Unfortunately, although her people are peaceful on the whole, the same cannot be said for the Khoush, who fan the flames of their ancient rivalry with the Meduse.
Far from her village when the conflicts start, Binti hurries home, but anger and resentment has already claimed the lives of many close to her.
Once again it is up to Binti, and her intriguing new friend Mwinyi, to intervene--though the elders of her people do not entirely trust her motives--and try to prevent a war that could wipe out her people, once and for all.
Don't miss this essential concluding volume in the Binti trilogy.

Things I love about the Binti series that are fully brought home in this satisfying conclusion:1) The creation of a future that is genuinely DIFFERENT. Not just medieval Spain but in space! Or contemporary geopolitics, but in space! Or aliens, but with our exact same Western social structure. I get confused, I have to reread, because things are WEIRD in the world of Binti. Wonderfully so. (And yes, of course there are recognisable aspects of current societies, but it just feels like one thingI am Binti Ekeopara Zuzu Dambu Kaipka Meduse Enyi Zinariya Osemba, master harmonizer--BintiThe title of this, the third and final volume of the Afro-futurist science fiction trilogy by Nnedi Okorafor, refers to a specter of change that appears to significant people at times of great crisis.At one point Okorafor glibly summarized the book: "African girl leaves home. African girl returns home. African girl becomes home."Binti is a Master Harmonizer (peacemaker) Himba woman who, in the first
This review contains spoilers for Binti and Home.I dont have much to say about The Night Masquerade that I havent already said in my reviews of Binti and Home. Although The Night Masquerade was longer than the two previous books, it was very similar in tone and quality.It seems Nnedi Okorafor has hit her stride in terms of plot and pacing. Whereas book one of this series felt rushed likely because it was the shortest the following two books have been well-paced, with enough room for
The finale of the Binti trilogy weaves everything together into a finale that blends the multiple strands of politics, sf, race wars and fantasy. Wonderfully vivid writing and wildly imaginative. I don't know if I liked it as much as book 1, possibly because the *scope* of the story felt smaller despite the amount in the book, or perhaps because Binti's accrued power begins to make her victory seem more assured so there wasn't as much tension. (Although the author addresses with this with an
Eh? This book has two sides to it. On one hand, there's deaths! There's a battle! There's an explanation finally behind the mysterious edan! On the other hand, (major spoilers!) (view spoiler)[ everyone who is thought dead magically is in fact not dead! There is no definitive reason given behind who started the battle in the first place or how/if it ended! The edan was just a device planted solely to get Binti to give some super smart alien being a 'review' of her university - say what?! (hide
Having read the entire series now, I agree with many of the criticisms in other reviews. Especially, how it didn't suit the novella series format and would have worked much better as a novel. (view spoiler)[ Bk 1 is strangely callous because you don't see any of the true consequences until bk 2. Bk 2 ends on a major cliff hanger, which you just don't expect in this format. Martha Wells did it best in All Systems Red, the series has satisfactory endings but leaves you wanting more. (hide spoiler)
Actual review: 3.5The way people on Oomza Uni were so diverse and everyone handled that as if it were normal continued to surprise me. It was so unlike Earth, where wars were fought over and because of differences and most couldn't relate to anyone unless they were similar. ♥ THE LESSON, THE MESSAGEThe absolute best thing about this book (and this series) is the message of inclusion and acceptance. Regardless of race, religion, culture and differences, this book splits apart what inclusion would
