The secondary characters were amazing too, especially Rosalyn who is a badass. If I want to take this jump with him, it’s my turn. The attraction is there but with the formidable Pirate King hot on their heels, the romance became a secondary thought. The romance is still burning as slowly as before but their interactions are increasingly enjoyable to read. He took some time getting used to Alosa’s siren side. The witty banter between Alosa and Riden was something I missed during the wait for Daughter of the Siren Queen. Riden fitted nicely with the rhythm of the Ava-Lee crew. She impressively wielded her powers frequently, and she made use of her siren side to get the job done whenever necessary. I loved that we got to see Alosa the siren too. With the Pirate King chasing them across the seas, Alosa proved herself to be a strong and independent leader. In book two, we see more of her as a captain, especially when she had to make tough decisions.

One thing I won’t forget from Daughter of the Pirate King is Alosa’s fiery personality. The romance was a slow burn and I wouldn’t want it any other way.īooks set at sea aren’t usually what I pick up since I was disappointed by books like that in the past but with Daughter of the Pirate King, I’m once again looking forward to books with pirates and sirens in them. Riden’s cleverness and wittiness matched Alosa’s sarcasm brilliantly.

As Alosa starts to know Riden more, she finds out that he isn’t that bad after all. Standing between her and the map she’s determined to find is Riden, her captor, the first mate of the ship she purposefully allowed herself to be captured. I believe we create ourselves to be what we want.” Some people say you have to find yourself. Though she might be a ruthless pirate, there were moments where her compassion and affectionate side takes over especially for her crew. The author skillfully gave me a sense of the world without dumping chunks of information.Īlosa’s a badass captain commandeering a ship of women pirates.

Daughter of the Pirate King was such a quick read. I was reading this during the time when I was waiting for more One Piece episodes and this tided me over. Tricia Levenseller’s writing sucked me right into the world of pirates and sirens.
