It’s been a while since I’ve had this much fun reading a book!
First, the setting is incredibly well researched account of twelfth century life on the Indian Ocean. I loved learning about the port cities, life on a ship, beliefs and customs of that time and region.
But what really sucked me in were the characters. It was refreshing to read an adventure with middle aged heros — some of whom are parents!
I can’t wait to read more in this series and look forward to reading city of brass (by the same author).
