So I have been in a huge reading slump off and on all year, and have been struggling with what to read. I remembered I wanted to read Daughter of a Pirate King this summer bc it gave *summer vibes*. So I thought I would give it a shot.

Alosa is Killigan the King of the Pirate's daughter. And perfect for Daxon's plans - of using her for ransom, and gaining information of the King's keep and treasure. But little did Daxon and his men know... Alosa getting caught is all part of her plan. She is on a mission to find a hidden map. But there is one thing standing in her way - or one person, that is. Riden, the first mate and Daxon's brother. But there isn't any one pirate that will stand in Alona's way or stop her from getting what she wants.

So this book surprisingly hooked me from the beginning. I was worried I would have to push through heavy world building - but that wasn't the case. It was fast paced & thrilling & adventurous.

Alona was fierce and strong - and a perfect pirate in her own right, but also had other abilities too. She was entertaining and so loved the back and forth between her and Riden. This was a quick and easy read and perfect for summer - being about pirates on the open ocean. I cannot wait to read book 2 & dive more into this world with these characters. I definitely recommend this book if you love YA fantasy, pirates or sirens.

4.5 ⭐ out of 5 ⭐.
