The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi

This book was a terrific read, especially after the disastrous last book I read. I loved the main character, the prose, the world building; everything just tickled my fancy. Except for it slowing down a little before the big climax, it was fast-paced and interesting. I generally like fantasy from the Middle East, with golems and djinns and the myriads of magical beings dreamt out of the sea and the desert. This book was nominated for a 2024 Hugo. It didn't win, but would have been very high on my list.
