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.
*MY THOUGHTS*
When I heard of this book, I was all over it! I knew it would be a cool read since it was about a female pirate. But I didn’t know it would be THAT good.
The best thing about this was the narrator. When I first tried reading this, I tried reading a physical copy, but I also tried making a pirate accent in my head that was no where near as good as this one. I’m so glad I decided to read this the right way lol The narrator made this story and I’m so glad I convinced my library to get this one!
I also loved Alosa and how strong she was. There were so many instances I thought it was all over, but she always outsmarted everyone. I also loved how she kick ass she was. She could fight and she was still beautiful. I loved that. And then her crew were all female too? I really loved that. I’m not sure I have ever read a book about a pirate.
Last but not least, I loved the fast-pace of the book. For it to basically be about her being kidnapped, I loved that there were still some surprises throughout the book. I can’t wait to see what the next book has her do.
The only thing I wasn’t fond of was the way the entire synopsis told the entire book. I’m glad I didn’t read it until after I finished the book this time, because it would have ruined it for me had I read it before. I like to know the surprises as they come, not have them be revealed before I even crack open the book.
This book was definitely something I wasn’t expecting. Me and the book were off to a rocky start, but we came came together in the end. I’m so glad I decided to give this one a try again in the audio world.
Overall, I give this
OOh nice! I still need to read this one! But now that you mentioned the description basically tells the whole story, I'm wondering if I should skip reading that part! I almost never do that! Lol! Glad to see it was a good read!
