The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi by S.A. Chakraborty
adventurous
5.0
“You look like a fucking prawn.”
Yes I will be using this insult in future, I cannot stop laughing at Amina saying this in the middle of battle.
This is just the absolute peak of adventure fantasy, so much rollicking fun with such a wonderful crew onboard a (reformed) pirate ship. Chakraborty’s particular skill lies as usual in her deep historical worldbuilding and character work, making this such an incredible setting to drown yourself in with a brilliant crew to keep you afloat. Their relationships and sassy retorts were a joy.
Please tell me we have a sequel.
Content warnings: graphic depictions of blood and gore, violence, torture, confinement, drowning, threats of rape
