I LOVED this book! If you find yourself wanting to read a book with that "classic fantasy" vibe but set in a completely new and different setting, you will also LOVE this book! I found this book so refreshing and so easy to read. The world building was easy to jump right into. I did about half e-book and half audio and would HIGHLY recommend the audio. The narration is wonderful and the little fourth-wall breaks are so fun.

Chakraborty has created a diverse, deeply feminist historical fantasy that is heartfelt and passionate while celebrating motherhood, faith, and magic. But at its heart, this book is a fantastically enjoyable read with the most lovable mismatched crew.

Thank you SO much to Avon and Harper Voyager for the advanced copy! The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi is OUT NOW!
