I really don't know how to feel about this series. It's kind of weird, but still entertaining. I'll continue with it and see how it goes from here.

I got this book a long time ago from a Librarything Early Member Giveaway. I decided to do a reread of this book. I lowered the original rating of the book. I felt that the story was rushed, I still enjoyed the book. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.

I‘m thrilled I was finally able to prioritize this book which sat unread on my shelves for over a year - it‘s a wild and fun ride. I read a few chapters per day because it was too outlandish to plow through without giving consideration to each adventure. The cast of characters on board-ship with the nakhuda,Amina Al-Sirafi is a hoot!

Julsmarshall I loved this one! 3w
Aimeesue Loved this one. The audiobook was terrific! And it slowed all the outlandishness down a bit 😂 3w
marleed @Julsmarshall @Aimeesue It was fun. I was about a quarter way through when I checked on the availability of the audio. It was there for the taking, and it was great to have stereo narration for at least half of my reading time. 3w
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 3w

I wanted to like this more than I actually did, but it is still a Pick. Amina is a really cool character, and I also loved the Islamic background, tales and believes. But the plot didn't really grasp me, I can't even tell you why. I just didn't feel involved too much. Still, I think I continue the series, because I really liked the characters and want to know what else happens to them.

I know this is non-fiction, so I wasn't expecting something like Pirates of the Caribbean. However, why is a book about pirates this boring? Plenty of people, places and dates, but not much to hold the readers attention. Picking audio for this was a mistake also, the narrator adds nothing to the story, just a dry reading of the words on the page. Bailing at 40%. #hailthebail

Aims42 I always love and appreciate when a nonfiction book grabs my attention and keeps it! It‘s not an easy thing to do ☹️ Hopefully your next book is a pick 👍 2mo

This is my partner's favourite series and I agreed to try it. It was always going to be a hard sell as it's not my usual thing.

It's very wacky and I can see why people enjoy it. It wasn't for me. I think I'll watch the series and maybe jump in later, I found it slow and not very interesting

BeeMagical I never did the Manga but I can confirm the Anime is amaaaazing (although VERY long😂 1100+ episodes). The live action on Netflix is also very well done! 2mo
PuddleJumper @BeeMagical That's an intimidating number!!! 2mo
Jari-chan OP is one of these never ending series. The manga is now at 100+ volumes, I think? Stopped reading after vol 60. 2mo
PuddleJumper @Jari-chan Yeah, it's a lot! My partner's been reading it since he was a teenager 2mo

Thanks for the tag @Eggs !

1. Hands down my favorite for August! And up there for favorite of the year!
2. All books! They all fill important roles, I can listen to audiobooks at work, ebooks make taking my TBR on vacation so easy, & sometimes you just want the physical weight.
3. Sci fi or fantasy. ✨🚀✨

I never thought I would find a children's book that used the magical realism style, but Medina pulls it off in this book! Probably best for stronger readers with good imaginations - the imagery of her language is enchanting.
