Drops you into a deeply speculative sci-fi future of our universe, which both helps in some ways (allowing you to discover these interesting cultures/alien races in the moment with little exhaustive exposition) and detracts in others (sometimes felt left in the dark with regard to what things were, how a scene looked, and what the mood of the scene was). I don't want to spoil anything, but one particular event's aftermath felt totally wrong, and I could not understand the cause-and-effect that led to the novella's ending. Binti is a strong protagonist and I enjoyed her relationship with Okwu. Despite some large narrative flaws in this novella, I am excited for future Binti stories and the world is interesting.
