Actual Rating: 4.5/5

This might be a controversial opinion, but this is my favorite work but Nnedi Okorafor. I think the reason for that is I got to see her form a relationship between two characters on page for the first time. In Lagoon, the Binti Trilogy, and Remote Control I was generally following characters in isolation. Here I have two isolated individuals meeting each other, telling their stories and figuring out what to do next as they form a bond. I eat that stuff up. Also there is the standard amazing imagination of Nnedi Okorafor on full display. I really liked what it had to say about capitalism and disabilities and communities adapting over the years. Its still a very fast paced book, that is her style but I think because it had this relationship it did not bother me as much as I have been in the past with some of her other works. Also I really enjoyed the audio book but I did immersion read it. There is a lot of nested narrative framework going on (another one of my buzz words) but if you just had the audio I could see that being confusing so proceed at your own risk!
