The Adventures of Amina al Sirafi is a pirate tale of pirate tales. Very embellished and over the top type of adventure of a retired pirate who also happens to be a mom.
I feel that story got a little repetitive with the character's dialogue and inner monologue, but I dealt with it. I tended to like the side characters more and I enjoyed the last half where there were more mythical and fantastical elements to the story. Amina girl bosses, ya know, she's a mom, but she's more than that obviously and she still loves being a pirate and wants to be infamous. That's the whole thing lol uh, yeah, I mean this was a cool read and I thought Dunya was rad af and the reveal at the end, absolutely loved it. Also, sorry I liked the chaotic dilf.
I do like this historical context and being that it's during the age of pirates, there's references to many places and I'm thinking of picking up some of the books the author suggest for non-fic reads.
