Blurb Description: Alosa's mission is finally complete. Not only has she recovered all three pieces of the map to a legendary hidden treasure, but the pirates who originally took her captive are now prisoners on her ship. Still unfairly attractive and unexpectedly loyal, first mate Riden is a constant distraction, but now he's under her orders. And she takes great comfort in knowing that the villainous Vordan will soon be facing her father's justice.
When Vordan exposes a secret her father has kept for years, Alosa and her crew find themselves in a deadly race with the feared Pirate King. Despite the danger, Alosa knows they will recover the treasure first . . . after all, she is the daughter of the Siren Queen.
Actual Rating 4.5 Stars
The minute I saw an ARC of Daughter of the Siren Queen in a parcel from Macmillan
International, I SCREAMED. I read Daughter
of the Pirate King, the prequel and Tricia Levenseller’s debut a few months
ago and ever since then, I’d been ITCHING to get my hands on this book.
Despite the fact that I had so many pending ARCs and
finished copies to review, I couldn’t help the itch to reach out and read this
BEAUTIFUL book and within a week or two of receiving it, I caved.
Daughter of the Siren Queen was a BRILLIANT book filled
with pirates, love, family, betrayals, battles, twists, mythical creatures,
chemistry and FEMINISM. It was the perfect combination of everything good in
the fantasy world and I loved every second of being immersed in this book.
In fact, I NEED MORE BOOKS WITH ALOSA AND RIDEN AND THE
AVA-LEE AND EVERYONE ONE IT because HOLY CRAP THEY ARE ALL SUCH AMAZING
CHARACTERS AND DESERVE MORE STORIES.
My Thoughts:
1.
While the prequel, Daughter of the Pirate King, took me by surprise with how good it
was, I pretty much EXPECTED it from Daughter
of the Siren Queen. I expected it to be great, and this book lived up to my
expectations.
2.
Like the first book, this story is mostly told
on sea, aboard a pirate ship but this one is different because Alosa is no
longer a prisoner and is back on her own ship. Most of her crew is made up of
badass female pirates and I loved getting to know them especially Mandsy,
Nirida and Sorinda.
3.
THE ALOSA
AND RIDEN SCENES IN THIS BOOK ARE LIFE. I absolutely loved how he tried
to understand her as a half siren, and how she tried to deal with what she felt
for him and why he kept her human. Their character development in this book was
stunning, just like all their illicit kisses and arguments.
4.
Apart
from her journey with Riden, Alosa made HUGE strides as both a Siren and a
daughter in this book and how Tricia Levenseller made it all come to life was
brilliant. I loved the way her mind worked, her Slytherin attitude, her
fearlessness and her loyalty. I will truly miss reading from her
perspective.
5.
While this book was GREAT, it somehow just
missed the magic that made Daughter of the Pirate King one of my
favourite 2017 reads. I don’t know if it was the fact that there were so many
new characters, or the fact that I was expecting it to be brilliant, but this
book ranks second to its prequel.
Would I recommend this series? HELL YES.
Daughter of the Siren Queen filled with feminism, sirens,
magic, pirates, friendship, treasure and chemistry filled banter and IT’S
EVERYTHING YOU NEVER KNEW YOU NEEDED IN YOUR LIVES. 4.5 Stars.
THE PIRATE KING, released earlier this year from Feiwel and Friends, an imprint of Macmillan Publishers.Initially from a small town in Oregon, Tricia now lives next to the Rocky Mountains with her bossy dog, Rosy. She received her degree in English Language and editing and is thrilled that she never has to read a textbook again. When she’s not writing or reading, Tricia enjoys putting together jigsaw puzzles, playing volleyball, and watching shows while eating extra-buttered popcorn.
