Binti by Nnedi Okorafor
Did not finish book. Stopped at 29%.

The plot felt like it was rushing so I didn't think I'd be able to properly get invested in it. It also felt like a combination of sci-fi, fantasy, and YA, when I expected it to only be a sci-fi book. This just wasn't for me.

This started out really good but I began to lose interest about 65% of the way through, as the plot kind of runs in circles and is also somewhat predictable. I prefer A Woman is No Man which I read earlier this year.
