Amina is a badass woman, the captain of her crew and has been in hiding for the last ten years. Known on the seas as a force (and collecting enemies because of it), Amina has been trying to keep her daughter safe by "disappearing." When she is approached to take on "one more job," it is a payday that she absolutely cannot refuse. She rounds up what she can find of her aging misfits, and sets off on an impossible last adventure.
Feeling both historical and fantastical at the same time, this author really gives us such a rich story with vibrant characters that bounce off the page. And like I said, the audiobook really lends itself to this beautifully rich book. The properly accented pronunciations and audio quality are the added texture to make this one of the best reads I've had in a little while.

The fantasy appeared maybe a bit late in the story, I was confused about how "normal" and then suddenly how "magical" things were. It's set in a non magical world, but then when surnatural is introduced, it doesn't shock the characters very much...
A few anachronisms in the vocabulary used by the MC/narrator wrt the historical period the story is set in.
I also appreciated the diversity of characters (ethnicity, faith, LGBT+,...)
