I can't stop smiling, it's such a great book! Highly recommend if you enjoy an older female mc, Indian/Arabian/Muslim cultures, pirates, swashbuckling adventure with a lovely dash of humor!

I did not expect Jamal to be Dunya!!! What a plot twist LOL I'm so glad Amina got home safely and her crew still all in one piece, except for the few who have lost their lives ;-; I loved how the crew respected each other's culture/religions!! I don't often see that concept in books, but I think this one did so well. Raksh reminds me of Loki, I couldn't stop laughing when he got rafted at the end. I'm so glad this book didn't have any explicit intimate scenes or crazy amounts of romance. I feel like it often happens with fantasy books recently, but without it, it's done so well.
