I’ve long wondered whether the natural next step in my evil-genius career is to find a nemesis. I have no problem holding years-long grudges for things such as “he should have picked up on my entirely unexpressed infatuation with him this review is posted now!! which is good b/c i definitely haven't hit my talking-about-how-much-i-hate-this-book quota. I have the excess time and aimless fury to direct to it. This review is posted now!! which is good b/c i definitely haven't hit my talking-about-how-much-i-hate-this-book quota. Daughter of the Pirate King is an enjoyable start to this intriguing series.īlog | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Youtube. I could have liked their relationship a lot more if Alosa had stayed focused on her task and the attraction had occurred gradually and naturally through banter and sexual tension.īut, oh well, these are small complaints. It wasn't quite instalove, but Alosa singles out the love interest immediately by acknowledging how hot and different from the rest of her captors he is. The problem was the lack of build and tension. Which is actually a shame because I did like both characters. To be fair, I did like that the author considered (view spoiler) Īnd second, I didn't love the romance. I got no sense for the first half of the book that anything fantastical was going to happen, and the sudden introduction of it without warning was really jarring. That being said, I think the book needed some work in a couple of areas.įirstly, the supernatural elements seemed to manifest from nowhere and felt out of place.
“I’m going to show you something more magical than the stars.” Also, how many times have I thought this during sappy romance scenes: I laughed out loud several times because she's almost TOO good she has to make it seem like she's a reluctant prisoner by attempting to escape, but she is so good at escaping that she must also stage her own capture again. She's really tough and takes shit from nobody, but it's totally okay because she's also really funny. I think the author gets the balance just right with Alosa. I like it when supposedly cruel pirates (assassins, sorcerers, etc.) are not sugar-coated to make the audience like them more - Alosa has no problem slitting a few throats and getting her hands dirty, but I liked her just fine.
The tone is often light and humourous - even sometimes reminding me of the hilarious My Lady Jane - but this doesn't stop Alosa from being a brutal badass. When her father sends her on a mission to find part of a map that will lead to a secret isle, Alosa must fake her own capture and pretend to be a prisoner as she hunts down the map piece on board a ship led by a ruthless young captain. But Alosa herself is a tough, no-nonsense pirate captain who can more than hold her own. Alosa is the daughter of Kalligan, who rules over and terrorizes the seas.

This was a whole lot of fun for the most part! My few complaints are not really huge issues, but more "this could have been a lot better if." However, it was a decent debut and I'll be looking out for the next in the series (quick warning: the title of the sequel is kind of a spoiler for part of this book).ĭaughter of the Pirate King has a rather self-explanatory title. This is the second time I’ve had to stage my own capture.
Daughter of the Pirate King has a rat It should not be this difficult to stay prisoner on a pirate ship. This was a whole lot of fun for the most part!

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. 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.
