This book was fast-paced and such a great deal of fun! After DNFing These Violent Delights, I needed something that would really catch my attention. Daughter of the Pirate King drops us right into the action, with seventeen year-old pirate Alosa negotiating the terms of her own kidnapping. A secret mission to infiltrate another pirate lord’s ship and find a long-lost map piece, a handsome first mate ready to banter, and double-triple-crossings galore, this book delivered on adventure!

There were times when I found the writing a little clunky, some tension forced, and a few phrases cringey (please stop calling people lass, I beg you). Overall, I found myself pleasantly surprised by this work and I would definitely pick up the next in the series. I feel like 3.5 stars is the fairer rating here, but it’s going to get 4 from me for pure fun and enjoyment.
