A review by kathrynlbest
The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by S.A. Chakraborty

5.0

This book was SO incredible. I loved the exciting plot, the very real geography, the incredibly fierce female leads, the pirates, the magical creatures, the cultures, and the realness of a middle aged pirate coming back from retirement - aches and all! At first I was worried about the length of this book, but I had it in my hand every moment I was free to read. I’m glad it wasn’t shorter. My only disappointment is realizing that it only came out last month so I’ll have to wait a while to read what happens next! Thanks to book of the month club, otherwise I’m not sure I would have ever picked it up.
