Review: Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller

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.

So, with her resolve steeled, Tia set off on a quest to make it happen while avoiding her mug shot being splayed across the five o’clock news.

The journey no doubt will make for one hell of a story.

This book was filled with so many unexpected surprises. Daughter of the Pirate King wasn’t even on my radar and I have no idea how I completely missed amazing pirate adventure. This book is a definite page turner that’s for sure. Once I started, I was quickly submerged into Alosa’s world and her quest.

Alosa is my kind of heroine. She’s strong, confident, and can hold her own. This girl is fierce and I wouldn’t want to go up against her at no certain point. I enjoyed her interactions with Riden. You just never knew what was going to happen between the two. I can’t name anything that I didn’t like about this book. I enjoyed every aspect of this book. From the world building, to the richly imagined characters, I loved every bit of it.

I went into this book blind. I didn’t read any reviews. I saw the book as I was scrolling through Goodreads new releases and found myself intrigued by the synopsis. I’m so glad I took a chance, this book isn’t one that I’ll be forgetting anytime soon. As a matter of fact, I wish I had the sequel. I can only imagine what’s in store for Alosa and crew next.
