the adventures of amina al-sirafi is a historical fantasy novel about mother and ex pirate amina al-sirafi, who is hired to do one last adventure to save a kidnapped teenager. 

i loved this book. some say the characterization is a little flat and i do agree to an extent, but also i read this via audio, so i think i felt that a little less. lameece isaaq is the perfect voice for this novel.. if you're really worried about the character work, i would suggest the audiobook. worldbuilding perfect. plot amazing. amina's backstory epic. i have very few notes here this is just a big gorgeous epic pirate adventure
