The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty is a great historical fantasy adventure. Amina Al-Sirafi is a middle-aged piratey sea captain who is persuaded out of retirement and away from her daughter. What she thinks will be a fact finding and rescue mission to recover the daughter of a former crewman turns into a full scale supernatural adventure.
This book had a lovely, satisfying ending. Open ended with room for more stories, but not in a cliffhanger way.
I got my book from Book of the Month Club and read it in hardcover, as well as listening to the audiobook for some of it.
