Their prisoner/captor dynamic? Straight out of my before-bed scenarios. And
There's definitely some content warnings regarding both gore and smut. Nothing super graphic, but multiple men try some things.
The book has highs and lows because some intense emotions are explored, but there's plenty of comedy relief to counteract that.
Just/ everything really.
Phenomenal characters. Unique scenery. Epic battles. And so much fun.
* One criticism, though (why it's not 5 stars), this book was published in 2017 and there is so much heterosexuality and gender binary- It's hard to wade through. I mean, it's literally part of Alosa's abilities, but the constant "men fall under my spell" and "I can make men do what I want" and no effect whatsoever on any of the women on her crew? It's tiring.
Oh, and the apparent only gay man in this entire world?

I had high expectations of Daughter of the Pirate King. I've always loved pirates and I do love Pirates of the Carribean. However this book did not live up to it.
Alossa lets herself get kidnapped by this pirate crew to retrieve a map. But she finds a little more than she bargained for in her captor Riden.
And if that doesn't sound like a recipe for a romance I don't know what does. A lot of my problem with this book is regarding the romance. Not only are they violent towards one another, Riden lets his brother take her to hurt and rape her. I don't know how that is suppose to make a good basis for a relationship.
A lot of the moments in the first three quarter are the book are also there to serve for the romance. Riden taking a prisoner in his room is just bloody stupid. Letting a prisoner walk around your ship for multiple nights to see what she is up to is even worse. I'm sorry but in that regard these were a bunch of stupid vanilla pirates. Everything is worked around to fit for the romance and making Alossa seem super great. It is obnoxious in every way.
Lets not talk about the world building because there isn't much there.
