A very fun adventure book. The main character was an interesting twist on the usual protagonist by being a middle aged mother, and the villain was suitably menacing. Of the side characters, only one I thought was truly memorable, but none were overly grating. The most interesting part of the book was certainly the historical setting, as the Indian Ocean during the Middle ages is a fascinating place that very few authors utilize. I enjoyed listening to this immensely, as the narrators do an excellent job with all the characters voices.
