It took a few chapters to get started, but it's beginning to grip me now. I appreciate the setting of the story and the delivery of Amina al-Sirafi's character. There's maybe a mismatch going on between the modern sensibilities of the writing and the time period and characters it is emulating, but I'm still undecided on that.

I think if this wasn't historical fantasy I'd enjoy it a little more, but because the historical elements are interwoven, it makes the modern dialogue and politics seem off. It's one of those books that feels like it was written in the style of what's popular, rather than what serves the world best.
