"Levenseller comes into her own in this sequel to Daughter of the Pirate King (2017), penning an argh-worthy blend of pirate derring-do and lively romance. ... Deadly sirens join the ranks of strong, smart females in this book, giving it a definite feminist edge." --Booklist
"The author has yet again captured the adventure, romance, and ruthless ways of the high seas in this sequel to Daughter of the Pirate King. ...

Praise for Daughter of the Pirate King:
"Readers should rejoice, because we now have a lady Jack Sparrow on our hands! Daughter of the Pirate King kidnapped my interest from the first chapter and never let it go! It's a superior debut with a deeply entangled romance, a fearsome heroine not to be trifled with, a clever hero that you seriously want to trifle with, and a plot twist that makes a rollercoaster seem stable. With a cunning plot, robust writing, and complicated characters, any reader will enjoy being manipulated in Levenseller's capable hands. Definitely for fans of Pirates of the Caribbean, fierce heroines, slow-burning romances, and adventures that can turn sour in the space of a gasp. Not for fans of complacent heroines, soothing plots, or those who don't speak sarcasm." ―Anna Banks, author of the New York Times Bestseller

This book was a gift, my daughter was very excited to receive it.

Me pergunto por que estava apreensiva para ler essa duologia. Quer dizer, claro que tinha algo nela que me atraía, mas ainda tinha alguns comentários em resenhas que me fizeram ficar com um pé atrás. No máximo, essa apreensão só serviu para me fazer amar ainda mais a história! O primeiro livro me divertiu completamente, teve a quantidade de humor, sarcasmo e romance que eu sempre quero ver em um livro. Esse, em compensação, foi mais sério, mais tenso e trabalhou muito mais o desenvolvimento da protagonista e sua relação com os outros personagens. Com eles juntos, essa duologia é simplesmente maravilhosa. A Alosa continua sendo uma das minhas personagens favoritas, e seu crescimento só me fez gostar mais dela! Não sei por que esconderam uma característica tão importante dela da sinopse do primeiro livro, já que essa é a parte mais interessante da história, só um pouco na frente de toda a vida de piratas. Eu mesma comecei a gostar ainda mais do livro quando percebi o segredo que ela estava guardando, segredo que fica claro só pelo título desse segundo. O enredo desse livro é muito mais movimentado que o do primeiro, tem mais cenas tensas, mais batalhas, mais problemas. O romance, que era um pouco mais importante no primeiro livro, continuou super bem nesse, com só algumas pequenas enrolações que poderiam facilmente ser explicadas pela personalidade da Alosa, mas que no final não merecem se transformar em críticas. Eu não mudaria nada no livro nesses quesitos. Mas tenho que admitir que a melhor parte da história toda foi ver a Alosa como capitã e toda a sua equipe pirata feita quase completamente de mulheres. As personalidades, habilidades e relações diferentes foram de longe a razão de eu amar esse livro. Isso tudo só tinha sido ameaçado no primeiro livro, então foi maravilhoso ver virar realidade e ser aproveitado tanto! Por mais livros como esse, com muito mais personagens femininas do que masculinos, com mulheres no comando, protegendo os outros e não tendo que agir e serem vistas como homens para isso. Já disse que amei esse livro? Senti um pouco de falta da descontração do primeiro, queria que tivesse tido alguns momentos mais engraçados, só para tirar um pouco o peso de todo o resto, mas foi essencial ver que a autora também tinha planejado para essa história um pouco mais de tensão e choque de realidade. Estou torcendo com todas as minhas forças para que a autora resolva escrever mais livros nesse universo, porque super dá espaço. Recomendo a duologia para qualquer pessoa que adore histórias de piratas e de sereias, que goste de personagens mulheres fortes, sarcásticas, implacáveis, justas, inteligentes e humanas. E para quem está cansado de ver protagonistas como a única mulher com qualquer valor ou atenção durante o livro. A equipe da Alosa é maravilhosa e merece sua leitura!

I loved this second book as much as the first and maybe even a tiny bit more! Alosa is as fierce as ever and I loved to see the bond between Alosa and Riden develop. With of course a decent amount of banter and arguing. It's an exciting and good ending of this duology! 4.5 stars

An unforgettable, swashbuckling, high seas adventure! With sword fights, a race to find the hidden treasure, sirens, a shocking secret, romance, and a crew of misfit pirates I've come to love, this sequel was one heck of wild ride. I love the pirate adventure Levensellar has taken me on with her duology. She's introduced me to characters I've come to love, and who's stories I'm not sure I'm ready to be over with just yet. Daughter of The Pirate King was one of my all time favorite reads last year. I have anxiously awaited getting my hands on this book, though I didn't want the first book to end. This sequel did not disappoint. It had all the action I had hoped it would. I don't know what it is about the fighting and battle that takes place on the open sea, but there's something about it that adds an element to the danger, and makes me cheer on Alosa that much more. This girl is a force to be reckoned with. Literally. This story really is a character journey for Alosa. She's learned a great deal, not only about herself, but she's been lied to and betrayed her who life. What she discovers definitely makes her question a lot of things about herself. Thankfully Alosa is one touch Captain, with a loyal crew of pirates, and Riden to keep her grounded. This story digs deeper into the dangerous side of Alosa's siren nature. Alosa isn't afraid of much, aside from admiring her feelings for Riden, and losing her crew to the imposing doom her hell bent father has promised unleash on them, her siren side is something she has to learn to control. If she doesn't, it will cost her more than she cares to admit. I love the love that Alosa has for her crew. She will do anything for any of them, regardless of what it will cost her. I admired her wanting to learn to control her siren side. It not only shows the effort it takes on her part, but I loved that it also shows the trust Riden, and Alosa have in each other. You'll get why I said that when you read the book. Speaking of Riden and Alosa, my word I wanted to lock these two up and force them to admit their feelings for each other. I love their stolen moments together, the crew calling Alosa out in her attempt to check Riden out when she thinks no one else is looking, and Riden forcing Alosa to say what she's scared to admit. Not to mention the kissy scenes, their chemistry and the way these two can ruffle each other's feathers. It's downright hilarious at times. I also liked that they always have each other's backs, especially when tensions are high. The only thing that I had an issue with in this book, was how Alosa treated Riden for the first portion of the story. Part of me understood her need to reestablish who she is, and her role in what's happening, but the other part of me was extremely annoyed with her, and her fear in admitting her feelings for him. Had Riden been a le...
