I really enjoyed this, on the whole. The characterisation was a strong point, particularly Amina herself, and I loved what was done with Jamal. I'm personally not a fan of modern slang or phrasing in historical settings, so sentences like "Let us check it out" were a bit jarring to me, but it was still a fun and refreshing read.
