I like a nice short book, but I really wanted more here. It felt like Okorafor glossed over too many things, and the result felt to me like a series of small gods out of the machine. A more well-developed (or fleshed out) plot would have made this a stronger book. The idea is neat and the world compelling. I'll keep watching Okorafor but would really like to read something longer by her that feels more complete.
