This was well worth the read. Chakraborty remains one of my favorite historical fantasy authors. I’m looking forward to the sequel when it releases. The character of Amina and her crew leapt from the page and I felt like I was journeying alongside them on this great adventure through the Indian Ocean. If you enjoy Asian or middle eastern history / fantasy, then decidedly check this out. You won’t be disappointed. Despite the chunky size, it reads fast with action that propels the plot and characters onwards in this magical swashbuckling adventure if a tale.
