Amina is a protagonist I’d love to just hang out with. She’s confident in her skills as a captain and knows how to run a tight ship. The seasoned mariner viewpoint was refreshing after multiple books with young voices. I can’t wait to read her next adventure. 
 
The audiobook was fantastic. They made it feel like an oral history recording with “off-mic” asides included.

Maybe this book wasn’t for my age demographic but I immensely enjoyed the refreshing take on female representation, POC, Muslim culture and representation you won’t see coming! Settled on giving this four stars until the ending that tied the book all together and made the longevity of it worthwhile! Seriously gasped in bed at the ending
