Bokomslag och beskrivning hämtad från Adlibris.

Den första korta berättelsen i denna trilogi har jag läst/lyssnat på två gånger innan jag valde att köpa denna kompletta triologi av dessa kortromaner om Binti, tillsammans blir de som en romanlång berättelse. Sen har jag ägt boken ett tag innan jag nu läste den.

Jag gillade den i överlag, men den var lite trög att läsa, men jag kan inte säga varför, kan ha berott på mest att jag var lite i en lässvacka, för jag gillade den och speciellt hur den slutade  men även vägen dit.

Nu vet jag inte alls hur den här recensionen blev, det låter som jag både rekommenderar den och inte, men den fick fyra stjärnor av fem möjliga av mig så....
