Reviews with content warning for Gore - La hija del Rey Pirata

Pretty good book overall! The rising action(s) weren’t particularly amazing, but the climax and falling action(s) were executed well.
Upon finishing this book, I don’t see how the main character Alosa could be sold as a “female Jack Sparrow”. The only things the two characters have in common being they are both pirates and both enjoy being pirates. Both characters are great, but it’s difficult to compare the similarities of their personalities; they are on opposite ends of the spectrum so take the selling point with a grain of salt.
A classic enemies to lovers trope, which I feel was executed pretty well.
The conflicts had good structure but maybe could’ve been beefed up by better execution of scenes/dialogue. A handful of scenes felt out of left field. 3.5/5⭐️

Morals of alley cats, these ones.
If you don't mind that (what else can you expect from pirates, honestly), then read at your own risk.

Here be casual, cold-blooded killing; thievery; seduction; torture; promiscuity; and general immorality. To be fair, the characters' consciences do prick them - if they are romantically or familially involved with someone. And it's rare.

I absolutely loved this book!! I loved the fast-paced nature of the plot and I literally could not put it down. I loved the way that the girl was the tough badass character instead of the guy love interest. Although the troupes are real predictable at times, the actual plot and adventure really made up for it. Also, I like sometimes for troupes to be predictable but that just may be me.
