*4.5 stars*

Amina is a character with a strong voice that it's very captivating, which is one of the strongest elements of the book. Another one is the endering found family made up of this ragtag group of characters. This is plot-heavy and full of adventures, it mixes real historical details with magical creatures, sea monsters, sorcerers, and magical artifacts, which was the perfect combination to make this interesting. I had so much fun discovering this world.

The only reason this isn't 5 star is that it's very plot driven and I wanted a little more character and relationship development.
