The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi by S.A. Chakraborty

It was an ARC but I finished it the day after it was published.
It's the first book in a trilogy, and it's got like...Arabian Nights vibes, except it's pirates.
The historical fantasy.
I still love that she includes all of her research references. We love it.

The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud

Me gonna preface this with I read this in junior high so I'm coming back to it because why not. Youth. Innocence. Hope. What odd feelings. 
 I loved that this book had footnotes and Bartimaeus' sense of humor.
Can people please just be nice to Nathaniel. Because trauma. Just like. This is how children grow up to do things and honestly just let my boy have some therapy. If anyone hurts him, I can't. 
Bro. keeps foreshadowing, and I don't appreciate it (because I've read the third book)
