On the positive side, this continues the progressive themes from Binti: Home about trying to harmonize relations between different races and calling out racial prejudice. Can she harmonize the situation? Or will she lose her own life instead? Her people the Himba are angry with her for bringing this conflict on them. Now the Meduse are massing for an attack on the Khoush forces. Once home, Binti finds her family is gone, along with many of the Khoush, but Okwu has survived. While she was gone into the desert, the Khoush people have used Okwu’s presence as an excuse to attack the Root. On the way home, she experiences frightening visions of her home the Root burning.
