We've read about Yasmeen throughout the series and I'm very glad she got a book. She's a tough pirate captain and she's a tough woman. Often you end up having the man be weak in some way but what I loved about this story is that Archimedes is just a tough though with a humorous and playful side and a willingness to let Yasmeen be the Captain. 
 Archimedes is a fantastic character full of humor and silliness and steam. He's a wonderfully crafted hero with a very Indiana Jones feel. He also has a history with our characters and things get more into the history of the series which I enjoyed because it was informative without being boring. 
 Overall a very entertaining installment for the series.
