There will be plenty of time for me to beat him soundly once I’ve gotten what I came for.
Sent on a mission to retrieve an ancient hidden map—the key to a legendary treasure trove—seventeen-year-old pirate captain Alosa deliberately allows herself to be captured by her enemies, giving her the perfect opportunity to search their ship.
More than a match for the ruthless pirate crew, Alosa has only one thing standing between her and the map: her captor, the unexpectedly clever and unfairly attractive first mate, Riden. But not to worry, for Alosa has a few tricks up her sleeve, and no lone pirate can stop the Daughter of the Pirate King.
My Thoughts:
Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller is a fun read with a fierce, independent lady main character. Yup. I am here for that! Here are a few of my favorite bits:
- Historical Fiction: I love me some historical fiction. I especially loved that this one was so much fun! I know I already used that word to describe it but it just fits. Fun, fun, fun.
- Pirates: I have read few, if any, pirate books. Why are there not more? I loved that aspect of this one. Life at sea and the quirkiness of the different sailors… so enjoyable to read about.
- Smart Heroine: My favorite part, of course! Alosa is pretty much the best. I loved learning to know more about her and the way she was raised. Throughout the book she is capable and fierce, but also vulnerable and unsure. I loved that we see both sides and it doesn’t mean she isn’t strong!
- Swoons: There are certainly some romantic bits and I just loved them. I had such a crush on the love interest. It’s very clear the main characters are keeping secrets from each other but I was still rooting for them.
The only thing that I didn’t love was the ending! I didn’t realize this was the first of a series when I went into it an wished I would have. But that’s just me being oblivious… not a flaw in the book.
Basically this is just a fun and compulsively readable story!
