I liked this! I enjoyed the mixture of African culture in a futuristic, space setting, with aliens. I enjoyed the overarching storyline, but I felt like some bits of the story and the background behind it all (eg treeing) could've been explained a bit more deeply. It is a novella/short story so I didn't expect a deep dive into the world but I think it could've done with a little bit more. I am excited to read the next book, though!
