Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller

A 17-year-old pirate captain intentionally allows herself to get captured by enemy pirates in this thrilling YA adventure.

bit of a lame - captured prisoner/hero rescue plot but some fun world building and adventure

I thought the book hadn't finished when it had :(
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH I CANT WORD IT HONESTLY I LOVE PIRATES SO MUCH AND BOOKS SO THIS WAS PERFECT !!!
a favourite for sure <3

i want to be as badass as alosa

Meh.

I really like pirate books, and the idea of a female pirate protagonist was appealing. And I did enjoy what I read for perhaps the first third of the book – until the romance plot showed up. After that, I stuck with it for the bits of heroic female pirate action, but it all felt flat. Her powers that manifest seem to come out of nowhere, and then explained through some “oh by the way” exposition that seemed to not fit with the rest of the story.

I finished it, but I likely will not read further into the series.
