Book Club: The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty
Some books invite you to linger in the prose. Others create worlds so detailed you don’t want to leave. A rare few create a reading experience so immersive that you can’t shake it, even when your attention is needed elsewhere.
The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty requires a warning label—reading this book will create an unsafe daily life because part of your mind will be out to sea with Amina and crew, fighting to achieve their grand quest. (Seriously, don’t read this while you do anything requiring full focus, like brain surgery or a first date).
In this episode, we chat about our favorite characters, the uniqueness of Amina’s world, our predictions for future novels, and more.
If you loved Amina and weren’t quite ready to leave her behind, this episode is for you!
