Daughter of the Pirate King
A 17-year-old pirate captain intentionally allows herself to get captured by enemy pirates in this thrilling high seas tale.
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 gripping tale on the high seas.
And don't miss the sequel, Daughter of the Siren Queen!
Praise for Daughter of the Pirate King:
"Readers should rejoice, because we now have a lady Jack Sparrow on our hands! Daughter of the Pirate King kidnapped my interest from the first chapter and never let it go! It's a superior debut with a deeply entangled romance, a fearsome heroine not to be trifled with, a clever hero that you seriously want to trifle with, and a plot twist that makes a rollercoaster seem stable. With a cunning plot, robust writing, and complicated characters, any reader will enjoy being manipulated in Levenseller's capable hands. Definitely for fans of Pirates of the Caribbean, fierce heroines, slow-burning romances, and adventures that can turn sour in the space of a gasp. Not for fans of complacent heroines, soothing plots, or those who don't speak sarcasm." —Anna Banks, author of the New York Times Bestseller Of Triton
"Levenseller has created a formidable female character who can take care of herself as she makes some hard decisions. Hand to skilled readers seeking true adventure with swashbuckling, sword fighting, and a great problem-solving heroine." —School Library Journal
"Levenseller makes an impressive debut with this funny, fast-paced, and romance-dashed nautical fantasy, set in an alternate world of pirates, sirens, and myriad islands....This one’s not to be missed." —Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Tricia Levenseller's vivacious debut novel, the first in a duology, boasts stormy seas, sexy pirates, swordplay and a heroine who conquers all three with aplomb.... A rip-roaring high seas escapade with a tinge of fantasy, Daughter of the Pirate King will engage and enthrall its teen audience." —Shelf Awareness

I loved this book. I read some of the other reviews on here and they are just biased. My review is completely unbiased I went into this not reading any of the reviews just based solely on the representation of a female jack sparrow..
She delivered just that! I literally felt like it was a movie based on a female jack sparrow a little juvenile for a ya book but then again some sites place it children’s section. Either way it was thoroughly enjoyable and I think you should give it a try! Especially if you enjoy ya fantasy.

Was the plot or the writing something special? No
Did I enjoy it though? YES
Characters and story:
The story wasnt something special, sometimes i found myself getting bored of the plot. Probably because the heroin was "imprisoned" for the most of it.
The characters were intresting and i really liked the personality of the protagonist. Though sometimes i found her decisions to be a little off. I also enjoyed the enemies to lovers trope and the dialogues between Alosa and Riden. Some characters did stand out and I personally liked that.
Writing:
The writing is simple without so much poetics. And for that reason I reccomend this book to anyone whose first langouage isn't english because of it.

This was a very fun pirate adventure. Alosa is a badass female and I am here for her sass and ass kicking. Riden is such a golden retriever I can't even. This book had me enjoying it so much. It's quick, action packed, bantering and humorous. A little spoiler but riden being shot and his commentary might have been one of the funniest moments ever.
