Daughter of the Pirate King Notes
- wattpad vibes
- Oh boy this is going to be pretentious
- "Slow burn" romance; I see none
- How am I only thirty pages in and we are already discussing this guys abs whyyy
- Oh this book pisses me off so much
- She basically let him win in a fight against her completely destroying her character archetype that was attempted to be built
- That scene with the scars was pretentious as hell and I could have sworn I read it in like throne of glass
- Ugh her character had so much potential (emphasis on "had")
- I am so so disappointed; what am i even reading
- WHY ARE PEOPLE CALLING THIS A SLOW BURN ROMANCE
- For some reason, rather than allowing the characters to prove their personalities, they are just outwardly written out to us which makes for a lack of character development and a strange dialogue
- Ok Riden is just going to remain cardboard I get it
- To give this book some credit, it has been getting somewhat better; it's saving grace is the plot twist that shall not be spoiled and Alosa's character becoming more interesting
- I want to just quickly clarify, I have nothing against romances in books. My problem with this romance is how it was done. It was blatant insta-love when it was put out to be a slow burn romance. The romantic part of this book is the least interesting part and it saddens me to say that it is what makes up the majority of it.
- Ok so there is a bit more action which I would say was a more entertaining so bravo for that brief moment
- I like Alosa's relationship with some of the shipmates I think it was witty

Overall, I am just disappointed with the turnout of this book. I had such higher expectations. I constantly felt myself searching for little moments that were nice to read and I will admit, there were some, it is just a shame they did not make up the majority of the book.
