This is one of the few books with sirens that I've read, and I think I need to look for more...

Daughter of the Siren Queen is the second book in the Daughter of the Pirate King series, and I'm going to be honest: I remember very little about it. I read this two years ago, and apparently, it all faded out of my memory because I felt like I was reading this for the first time again. Again, this is the series that introduced me to pirate books, so I'll give it credit for sparking my brief pirate phase.
Alosa has defeated the pirate Vordan, but now she's on the run from her father, the pirate king himself. Most of this book follows Alosa and her father racing for a treasure. I think I liked the first one better, if only because the subterfuge was more enjoyable than just sailing fast. There were fewer action scenes, which I didn't love either, but it was necessary for the character development. There were a couple of plot twists, but none of them were too unpredictable.
This book focuses more on character development, especially for the members of Alosa's crew we were briefly introduced to in the last book. I liked Mandsy and Sorinda the most, though I wish we got to see more Enwen. Alosa and Riden got on my nerves a few times just because they wouldn't simply talk to each other. I still enjoyed seeing Alosa's arc as she took ownership of her own life, and I also liked seeing Riden's loyalty shift.
Daughter of the Siren Queen is a fast-paced, swoony pirate adventure sure to excite fans of the first book.

3.5/5
