The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi

Disclaimer: Fantasy isn’t usually my go-to genre, so I came into this one a bit outside my comfort zone. I think fans of the genre will likely connect with it more than I did.

I had a hard time fully engaging with the story and getting immersed in the characters and plot. The religious motifs didn’t really resonate with me, and the climax felt a bit rushed—the major conflict was wrapped up so quickly after a long build-up. That said, I can appreciate the ambitious worldbuilding and the themes the author was trying to explore. It just ultimately wasn’t a match for me.
