2023 book 49

 Shannon Chakraborty's The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi

This shouldn’t have taken me so long to read, but I’ve had a lot going on the past week (and that will continue till mid-April, and there are so many books I want to read but I have less time and concentration right now!). This book is about a middle-aged Muslim lady pirate in the age of the Crusades, who’s retired to raise her daughter, but comes back for ONE LAST JOB to rescue a kidnapped girl. And she has to GET THE BAND BACK TOGETHER. But obviously things are way more complicated and soon monsters and demons and creepy Frankish dudes are in the mix! I will say that once I hit the second half, I tore through this, and am hoping for a sequel for sure. A-.
