They’d be dishing it out to each other and then pull back, and there was something that just didn’t quite feel natural about it. It’s true, the two do have great banter but it felt very choppy. Humans are quite the kaleidoscope of emotions but it just really didn’t feel cohesive when it came to Riden’s character and he felt like a few different pieces instead of one round, whole person. Sometimes he was super broody, other times he was super sassy, and then other times, he was just a jumble of things in between.
Riden is a little broody and dishes the sass right back to Alosa, but I felt like his character was less consistent. I really enjoyed watching her in action because piracy is cons on the open seas so naturally, I love it. I absolutely love character-driven books and I don’t need a book to be full of action and while the characters were fun, they weren’t enough to carry my momentum through the whole book.Īlosa is fierce, clever, and skilled and she uses everything she’s learned at every opportunity. My biggest hang-up was that I felt like there was very little plot. I was told how much I’d love DAUGHTER OF THE PIRATE KING since it’s full of banter (which it was – woo!) and I definitely did enjoy that aspect of the book, but I just didn’t seem to connect with it like I had hoped. 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. 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. Title: Daughter of the Pirate King (Daughter of the Pirate King #1)įind it on the web: Buy from Amazon // Goodreads Date Completed: 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.
