This was a really good sequel. The stakes were higher and I enjoyed the development of her powers, her family ties, and also her will they/won't they relationship.
I think while the book ended on a high note, I do think that if she wanted to pick up the story years into the future and make it a tad bit darker she could and I would still read it.
I still recommend these books for those who enjoy Pirates of the Caribbean films and or looking for a more female focus. There is a good helping of magic, fun, romance, and adventure.

okay got to say i love the sequel much more!
I don’t even know why. I just find it much more intriguing, especially the siren parts in it.
love the slow-ish burning romance in this duology, like Riden and Alosa is everything! love their little banter!
also the loses in this is so much more devastating, but it didn’t make me cried. though i must say, i was scared half to death when Roslyn was shot, and it read “She fall.”
I really really enough the mother - daughter dynamic in this, like I know it’s a bit abrupt but I still really enjoyed it.
funny enough, I took like 2 days to read around 90% of this book, while taking a few days to read the first 10%. I must say, this duology isn’t easy to get into. you have to commit for it to be good. and the beginning is just meh for me. like it doesn’t really intrigued me and sometimes I read through it really slowly.
but still good.
oh the crew though! I think the crew was definitely the highlight of this duology! Love the freakin’ crew so much!!
okay that’s all my thoughts for now.

With the third portion of the map collected and eager to seek the great treasure, a seed of doubt takes root in Alosa about her father in Tricia Levenseller’s Daughter of the Siren Queen.
To read this, and other book reviews, visit my website: http://makinggoodstories.wordpress.com/.
Alosa tracked down Vordan and secured his portion of the map, completing her task for her father so they can find the treasure of legend. In the course of taking Vordan prisoner and interrogating him, a seed of doubt is sown in Alosa about her father keeping secrets from her. While in the Pirate King’s keep, Alosa’s curiosity, prodded by Vordan’s whispers, finally makes her break in to her father’s study to uncover the truth. When she finds her mother locked away in her father’s study, Alosa is shocked to find her alive and quickly resolves to rescue her, with Riden’s assistance, only to have her mother flee in the ocean. Having crossed her father, Alosa and her crew are now in a race for their lives to get to the Isle de Canta first and secure the treasure to buy the loyalty of the King’s men to save their lives. Using their faster ship and the advantage of being a mostly female crew immune to the siren’s song, Alosa’s confident that she and her crew will be successful thanks to her siren abilities, and the fact that she’s the Siren Queen’s daughter.
Moving swiftly back in to the story built up in Daughter of the Pirate King, the narrative picks up quickly, skimming over the planning that went in to tracking down Vordan and instead begins with his capture. The writing is engaging and entertaining, though there is perhaps a bit too much repetition of information from the first book while setting the scene for this portion of the narrative’s adventure toward Isle de Canta. With an abundance of action with the various fights between Alosa and her crew and her father’s fleet, as well as the showdown between Alosa and her father, there are losses of life incurred that grounded the story to be more realistic, though they aren’t ones that are overly emotionally damaging as those lost weren’t typically included as part of the narrative’s central focus. The emotional journeys that do take place for Alosa and Riden come in the form of grappling with their pasts and the trauma within them, as well as finding their identities; for Alosa, the sudden appearance of her mother to have her just as quickly leave leaves her in a rapid whiplash of highs and lows that foster growth in her already strong character that’s repeatedly shown determination to provide people with choice in life-changing circumstances.
