Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller

 

DNF @ 17%

This book is one of TikTok's darlings and I can absolutely see the hype. That said, I didn't enjoy this book. The heroine is very much one of those brash, arrogant, not-like-other-girls heroines, popularized by authors such as Sarah J. Maas. Books like these used to make me feel annoyed but now I get that it's just a matter of personal preference and taste. The writing is very clean and flows pretty smoothly in a way that suggests that the author knows her craft. Some YA titles are bogged down by overly ornate purple prose; this one is not. I don't hate this book, I just kept setting it down and getting bored while reading it. If you enjoy Sarah J. Maas and FOURTH WING, you'll probably love this.

2 to 2.5 out of 5 stars
