Daughter of the Pirate King
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. In Daughter of the Pirate King, debut author Tricia Levenseller blends action, adventure, romance, and a little bit of magic into a thrilling pirate tale.BUY THE BOOK

I received this free digital ARC from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.
A Bit Repetitive
Because of the plot and the world in which this book took place, the story took on a bit of a repetitive nature, repeating the same few scenes over and over again with only minor changes. As a result, the book was a bit of a slow read. I was expecting more action and danger for a pirate book and was left a little disappointed.
Predictable
I understand the need to offer foreshadowing for the reader to entice them and make them want to read more and what not, but this was a bit over done in this book. The foreshadowing was obvious, more than hinting at what was going to happen on later in the book. As such, it was a bit disappointing when just that happened later on in the book. Thatâs not to say all the book was predictable, but some of it was and it made the read less interesting that it could have been.
Overcompensation
Female pirates. This pretty much sums up this book where the MC is a female pirate and her whole thing is âIâm better than any male pirate,â which is executed time and time again. However, at some point, it becomes a little too much. It feels like overcompensation and ends up being just a little too unrealistic, especially with the authorâs constant reminders of why the MC the way she is.
Cliff-Hanger
The book doesnât end in an overly annoying cliff hanger, but itâs a cliff hanger nonetheless. Itâs entire purpose is to draw you back into the next book. Unfortunately, that left me feeling less than sanctified with the current ending. I was expecting a bit more resolution than was given, which could have enhanced the story and taken away a bit of the repeated scenes earlier in the book.
