Hello friends, happy Wednesday! I hope you’re all doing well. Today I’m posting my review of the sequel to Daughter of the Pirate King, Daughter of the Siren Queen by: Tricia Levenseller.

You can read my review of book one: Daughter of the Pirate King

Daughter of the Siren Queen by: Tricia Levenseller: Alosa has completed her mission, obtaining the pieces of the map for her father so he and his men can get the legendary hidden treasure. But when a secret her father has been hiding is exposed, Alosa and her crew know they must find the treasure first; it now becomes a competition against the pirate king. This sequel was just as fast-paced as the first novel with a few more twists that actually felt surprising and not completely jarring and confusing. The pacing was done well as the reader raced to find out what would happen next. The stakes felt very high this time around now that new players and new challenges arose. The plot was easy to follow and the reader enjoyed getting to know more about the sirens; it really gave the novel something more to enjoy. We definitely got more depth to Alosa, her father, and also her mother, which was really good to see and gave us a better sense on who these characters were. In the first novel it had felt like we were just scratching the surface as to who her father was and how that related to Alosa, but in this one we got so much more and with the introduction of her mother we learn even more and it really made for very compelling and round characters. Alosa always seemed to be caught in the crosshairs of her parents, of who they want her to be and it was good to see her breaking away from their expectations, their control and lies to become her own person. The secondary characters on the other hand, lacked a lot of anything. They felt so one dimensional in that they had a name and a title and were called upon to do certain tasks; they didn’t feel very developed and were forgettable for the majority of the book. In the end though, this was still an enjoyable read about pirates and sirens.
