The tone is often light and humourous - even sometimes reminding me of the hilarious My Lady Jane - but this doesn't stop Alosa from being a brutal badass. When her father sends her on a mission to find part of a map that will lead to a secret isle, Alosa must fake her own capture and pretend to be a prisoner as she hunts down the map piece on board a ship led by a ruthless young captain. But Alosa herself is a tough, no-nonsense pirate captain who can more than hold her own. Alosa is the daughter of Kalligan, who rules over and terrorizes the seas.
This was a whole lot of fun for the most part! My few complaints are not really huge issues, but more "this could have been a lot better if." However, it was a decent debut and I'll be looking out for the next in the series (quick warning: the title of the sequel is kind of a spoiler for part of this book).ĭaughter of the Pirate King has a rather self-explanatory title. This is the second time I’ve had to stage my own capture.
It should not be this difficult to stay prisoner on a pirate ship.
