This review has been a long time coming. Especially since at this point, I have already read book two. I feel like it is never too late to right a review, plus Tricia Levenseller is one of my favorite authors hands down. She writes amazing characters. Daughter of the Pirate King is easily a five star read. Alosa is such a great character. I really enjoyed her fearlessness and how much she cares for her crew. Alosa is unpredictable and she is so enjoyable. I wanted to know what she was going to do next. As the reader gets to know Alosa and the secrets that she is hiding, you become super invested on what will happen next. One of the things that I really enjoyed with Daughter of the Pirate King is that all the characters are developed so well. Every single character in this book was written so well and I really enjoyed each of them. Each member of Alosa's crew had their own personality and back story. I thought this really added to the story. Being the daughter of one of the most powerful and dangerous pirates, Alosa is looked at someone who can be an easy ransom. Alosa doesn't always know who she can trust. Then Riden enters the story and turns Alsoa's world upside down. Riden is trying to track down Alosa's father's keep. Alosa is not so easy to give up important information. It was very interesting getting to know all the players in this pirate game. Daughter of the Pirate King is such a great book. Tricia Levenseller did such a great job at writing this book. I enjoyed every single second of it. To the fact that I have now read this book twice already.

A surprising tale of strength, beauty, and deception. Daughter of the Pirate King will entertain and delight readers with witty banter, sword fights, and treasure. From the beginning, I knew I was going to love Tricia Levenseller's voice and her complex character Alosa. I found myself pulled in and flipping pages as quickly as I could. Many nights I was up past my bedtime just to get in "one more page" which turned into chapters when all was said and done. I really enjoyed following Alosa's story. As is a danger to most writers when writing in first person, a reader can become bogged down by the characters thoughts and desires but here I found hers to be helpful, informative, and easy to relate to. Alosa is a cunning and complex character and a whole lot of fun. As there is a romantic element, I'll also mention that Riden's character was intriguing to me. I won't say much more on this so you can make your own opinions, but I liked his character. As for the plot and plot elements, I am a fan! At times, due to the circumstances that Alosa finds herself in, there is some repetition, but I honestly wasn't bothered by it. I felt as if Levenseller did a great job progressing the story so that, at a time where I would expect to get bored, something else would happen and pull me through. Thumbs up for that! So, my recommendation: If you enjoy a good pirate tale that includes romance (because this certainly does) and some light-hearted elements of danger, then I really think you'll like this. It's entertaining, surprising, and an overall easy read. It's definitely not a 'dark' book and I found myself laughing quite frequently. If you aren't a huge fan of romance threads or are looking for a more gritty pirate tale, then this may not be for you. *A note for my clean readers: Though this is still considered YA I would rate it more at a 17+ for violence and romantic elements.
