It didn’t hurt that their banter leading up to a more romantic relationship was pure gold! Everything Alosa lacked in bringing to the story, Riden was there for support. The two of them complimented each other well. Of course there was our other main character, Riden.
She brought to life such a fun adventure! There’s a huge lack of pirate tales in YA, which I find odd, so this alone made Daughter of the Pirate King unique to read!Īll of the characters introduced are enjoyable! There were evil ones and surprisingly fun characters within this crew of pirates. Besides the parts that seemed to drag a bit, I think Tricia Levenseller is a fantastic writer. This wasn’t a downfall in her character but more in the writing of the story. Her inner thoughts did become a bit repetitive at times, by telling us how skilled she was, etc. She’s intelligent and skilled, and unlike most pirates she knows, she has a good heart. She’s a strong heroine that readers can easily root for! Being the daughter of the powerful pirate king has shaped her into a brave, fearless woman, and she even has the scars to prove it. In the end, I really did enjoy her though. It was hard for me to connect with Alosa as she was hiding pieces of her true self. In my opinion, the blurb is a little too spoilery for my liking. Making it known that her kidnapping was planned allowed the beginning to be less intriguing for me. Now, we know that this is all an act as Alosa becomes a prisoner. Our main character, Alosa, is setting up her kidnapping when we first meet her. Can Alosa find the map and escape before Riden figures out her plan?ĭebut author Tricia Levenseller blends action, adventure, romance, and a little bit of magic into a thrilling YA pirate tale. Now it’s down to a battle of wits and will. Leaving behind her beloved ship and crew, Alosa deliberately facilitates her own kidnapping to ensure her passage on the ship, confident in her ability to overcome any obstacle.Īfter all, who’s going to suspect a seventeen-year-old girl locked in a cell? Then she meets the (surprisingly perceptive and unfairly attractive) first mate, Riden, who is charged with finding out all her secrets. When the ruthless pirate king learns of a legendary treasure map hidden on an enemy ship, his daughter, Alosa, knows there’s only one pirate for the job – herself. Tricia Levenseller’s debut, Daughter of the Pirate King, is the pirate tale we need more of in YA! It’s a fun, fierce adventure that is sure to entertain fans of Pirates of the Caribbean!Ī 17-year-old pirate captain intentionally allows herself to get captured by enemy pirates in this thrilling YA adventure.
