I really liked the vibes, but I found the MFC pretty annoying

A fairly enjoyable (if highly predictable) adventure story with some sirens and tyrannical father figures thrown in the mix.

Sent on a mission to retrieve an ancient hidden map, seventeen-year-old pirate captain Alosa deliberately allows herself to be captured by her enemies, giving her the perfect opportunity to search their ship. More than a match for the ruthless pirate crew, Alosa has only one thing standing between her and the map: her captor, the unexpectedly clever and unfairly attractive first mate, Riden. But luckily, Alosa has a few tricks up her sleeve - and no lone pirate can stop the Daughter of the Pirate King.
I bought this book when it was first published - I even got the Owlcrate special edition (with merchandises which I still treasure so much to this day). However, I only managed to read it recently! I’m glad to say that it was as fun as I had expected, even though it was written a while ago.
Alosa was skillful, smart, and feisty - pretty much my kind of heroine! I was afraid the romance bit was going to overwhelm the story, given the plot where Alosa had to ‘influence’ her ship ‘mates’, but it wasn’t!
I’m kicking myself for waiting this long to read this book. I must read the sequel ASAP!

I remember this book coming out and I had been debating on reading it. I found Book 1 & 2 at my local library sale and decided, 2.00 for two hardcovers? I'll do it. Only out two dollars.
I came away actually enjoying this one. I admit that I may be tad beyond the age for this, but for teen girls? Yeah. I'd read this if I was back in High School. It is Pirates of the Caribbean with a female protag. However, for some reason we cannot seem to have a pirate story without a supernatural angle.
The reason I knock it down a star is that while the love interest thing was cute, it got a bit boring when it was almost the main focus of the book. I was a tad irritated that the plot or the reason why she was trapped on the boat was so strung out.
It did get better at the end when the plot seemed to move into action. I mean, there was action too. There was a hell of a lot of gutting with swords and throat slitting, I mean, when do you ever get that in a book? And done by a female?
