Review: The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by S.A. Chakraborty

January 30, 2023 by Arun Leave a Comment

A fascinating book that reads like a story straight out of 1001 Nights. It’s rich in world, excellent in characters and satisfied my fancy for swashbuckling sea pirate adventure. The Legend and the Woman behind it, captain us into a tale of mystery and adventure filled with evil magic, sea monsters and mythical beings!
