This is a fun read. I appreciated the authenticity of the setting, it was unusual to read something deliberately set about 1200 years ago. There is a ton of action and fascinating magic to this and the main character is engaging and interesting. While this is essentially a standard fantasy story, there were a lot of unique elements and flavor.
A deeply satisfying conclusion to the epic trilogy. The heroes get the chance to make interesting, important choices, and so the "happy ending," while happy, is also complex and believable. Truly one of my favorite recent series.
the rumors were true. Passed the 50% mark and was consumed. I love this crew and this lush world so, so much.

The eponymous heroine is a Yemeni smuggler retired from the sea who is blackmailed by a rich woman into recovering her grand-daughter. Her father just happened to be part of Amina's crew before his death, and Amina felt guilty enough at his death to accept the job (the money for doing so didn't hurt either). Based on the Indian ocean trade routes, the story rattled along, and was reasonably historically accurate.
I liked this much better than The City of Brass (which disappointed me enough and so far has not inspired me to read the others in the series).
Light, but recommended.… (plus d'informations)
