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
Daughter of the Pirate King: 1 : Levenseller, Tricia Reviews

I love it, it wasn't damaged on the outside and on the inside it was ok, some words in it was missing so it was kinda hard to know what it said, but other than that i was happy with it.

4.5I actually enjoyed this a lot than I expected. At the moment I’m very hit or miss with YA and I have to be in the right mindset to read it or I just can’t get into it and end up DNF’ing. But this one got me from the first couple of chapters. I was quite simple writing which kinda showed it was YA but I did still really enjoy it. It was a very quick easy read, I love a strong FMC like Alosa. I’m so intrigued by Riden too and just wish we had a pov from him. I really enjoyed the banter between them both. I’m looking forward to the next book where hopefully seeing Alosa in charge.

Me decepcionei com este livro. Por mais de 200 páginas até deu para levar a mega confiança de Alosa enquanto ela lembrava e relembrava o leitor o quanto era extremamente competente, habilidosa, sagaz e mais inteligente que qualquer homem do mundo, principalmente os homens que a haviam 'sequestrado'. Deu até para entreter com a troca de farpas entre ela e Riden. Depois ficou chato. Ficou chato quando Alosa se viu em uma situação em que poderia colocar em prática tudo o que ela passou mais da metade do livro se vangloriando que sabia fazer, mas não conseguiu e foi salva justamente por um dos homens que ela achava tão inferior a ela.Por mais inteligente, bonita e competente que seja Alosa, ela falha em perceber o quanto o pai dela é abusivo com ela e um verdadeiro tirano com todos os demais piratas. É a tirania dele que faz com que os piratas se rebelem e queiram um novo líder.Pra mim, Alosa nem é tão espetacular assim como ela se descreve. Com certeza é bastante vaidosa e arrogante, mas ela é uma pirata normal que luta e enfrenta o mar e o perigo como tantos piratas que existem por aí. Se a autora tivesse optado por esse caminho, seria melhor.Eu não esperava muita ação ou aventura neste livro, imaginei que puxaria pro lado do romance. Riden e Alosa têm química, mas o interesse entre eles surgiu muito rapidamente. Quando Riden estava com Alosa, ele parecia um pateta. Quando não estava, ele era um total zero à esquerda.Daughter of the pirate King é só mais um YA de fantasia. Acredito que a escritora podia ter entregue uma história bem mais envolvente e cativante se quisesse.

I was highly impressed with the book given how some of these recommendations have turned out.It read easily, I didn't find my mind wandering. The characters were enjoyable and I like the way they interact. The plot is interesting continues nicely into the second book. The author does a good job of showing the enemies to lover from both sides in a way most wouldn't think of.I ended up reading it second time while waiting for the sequel to ship and still found it just as fun. Will be a forever book on my shelf.

L'ho letto in pochissimi giorni, la trama è scorrevole e facilissima da seguire, il linguaggio semplice a parte qualche termine marinaresco che può risultare un pò più complesso.I personaggi non sono caratterizzati nello specifico, ma li ho apprezzati molto. La protagonista, Alosa, è forte, manipolatrice e spesso prepotente. La ✨sexual tension ✨ è moooolto presente con l'affascinante primo ufficiale Riden. Ci sono state scene in cui è stato letteralmente impossibile trattenere le risate. È un enemies to lovers ovviamente 🙈.Quindi lo consiglio vivamente a chi vuole iniziare a leggere fantasy in inglese e a chi vuole una storia divertente e leggera!ENGLISH VERSION'Daughter of the pirate king' is the first book I read in English. I read it in a few days, the plot is smooth and easy to follow, the language is simple apart from some marine terms that can be a little complex.The characters aren't specifically characterized, but I really enjoyed them. The protagonist, Alosa, is strong, manipulative and badass. There is a loooot of ✨sexual tension✨ with the charming first mate Riden. There were scenes where it was literally impossible to hold back laughter. It's an enemies to lovers of course 🙈.So I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to start reading fantasy in English and to anyone who wants a fun and light story!Recensione a cura di lavitadelleparole_ (su Instagram)
