This was so fun! I love the action combined with the character, Lintang has so much heart and Biyani is awesome. The mythie lore makes me want so much more of this, I'm on the hunt for the sequel now because this was a phenomenal series starter!

What more can you ask for? Fairies, dragons, mermaids, and pirates… this book has it all. In her small village, Lintang can only dream of adventures. When Captain Shafira offers her a chance to sail with her to deal with undesirable mermaids, Lintang is over the moon. This is an all-woman ship and males are not allowed because they might succumb to the call of the mermaids and put the crew at risk. But when Bayani, Lintang’s friend is discovered on the ship, he secures his passage to Zaiben by sharing his secret with Captain Shafira. That secret will change everything. What seems like undesirable before is now worth fighting for.
This middle-grade fantasy is filled with action and conflicts. This is a great start for this series. I am looking forward to reading the next book.

Lovely, intersectional with solid worldbuilding. Looking forward to reading the next two this week to see what happens.
