Synopsis:
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 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.
Review:
Daughter of the Pirate King has been on my radar for such a long time and I’m so happy I finally got around to reading it.
The chemistry between Alosa and Riden is insane. I found myself looking forward to their next slightly mean but flirtatious back and forth and it never disappointed. They had a will they won’t they going on but not for if they’d get together, but whether they’ll kill each other. I mean, obviously they weren’t actually going to kill each other because they’re clearly attracted to each other, but I loved their back and forth so much.
It’s fairly obvious what Alosa’s secret is from the get go but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It’s a very cool secret and it was so interesting when she stopped hiding it. I also knew what she was based on the title of the second instalment. I love these types of books though, this plot line was far more interesting to me than the pirate one.
Pirate books are not ones I usually pick up, but the few that I have, have been very enjoyable. There’s always a stereotype with pirates in media (it’s the same for vikings too) that they’re aggressive and abusive towards women and I hate that. I have to look up reviews of things beforehand to check whether they have any assault scenes because they make me want to throw up. Thankfully, that wasn’t really an issue here. There is a mention of these types of activities, but not in detail.
Most of this book is spent with Alosa being held captive, so there isn’t much seafaring going on. However, I imagine the next instalment will have more action. I’ll check it out at some point.
