Daughter of the Siren Queen (Daughter of the Pirate King, #2)

“I may not have been born in the sea, but I was born to rule it.
I am the daughter of the siren queen.”
I didn't think it would be possible for me to like this book any more than I did the first, but let me tell you folks, THESE BOOKS ARE GREAT! The Daughter of the Siren Queen held all the swashbuckling and sword fighting that we didn't get much of in Daughter of the Pirate King. In this book we get to see Alosa not as a prisoner, but as a pirate of her own ship, fierce as ever. The tides have turned on poor Riden who is nowherprisoner, and Alosa won't soon let him forget just how it feels to be locked up and under watchful eye.
The action starts right away from the moment you open the book, and doesn't stop until the very last page. Alosa is still her witty self and the love for her crew is evident. She loves them, and they her, and there isn't much she wouldn't do to protect them. In return they would all lay down their lives for her as well. This is the kind of crew that you need to watch out for, because they are the ones that have everything to lose, and they will fight til the end to keep it safe. This is the kind of pirate ship you can respect, down to every last crew member, even little Rosalyn the lookout! (she might have been one of my favorite characters).
“I braved the ocean for you. Will you brave land for your queen?”
Alosa as a pirate is something that you wouldn't want to cross on a bad day. She is not only loved, but respected beyond measure for her tenacity and will to win no matter what circumstances in which she might find herself. She also seems to grow quite a bit over the course of this book when she finds out more about her family and upbringing and a few things she didn't know as well. Her father might not be everything she thought he was, but cutting ties with him might be just what she needed to become everything she was meant to be. But freeing herself from the Pirate King is no easy task and it will take the whole crew to pull off this insane feat. If there is one crew who could manage it though, it would be that of theAva Lee.
“Your enchantments last long after your song fades.”
Riden and Alosa's relationship was nothing if not beautiful. I love that it wasn't love at first sight, but more of a slow burning, hate-turned-love passion that took FOREVER to become something more, but once they finally do admit their true feelings, my god! I was dying inside from the wait! I felt my heart bursting from my chest with every interaction between the two of them, and I couldn't handle the slowness of their attraction at some points. I like that through even this, Alosa never lets her guard down as the Captain of her ship, and Riden respects her for it, if not making her more attractive to him in the process. Her fearless leadership is prevalent to all other emotions, and he can't get enough. And neither could I! This was such a sweet love story to add to the rugged pirate story. I fell in love right with the characters.
It makes me sad to know that this is only the second book, and yet the last to this story. I could have read and read and read until my eyes quit working. But being just the two amazing books works, the story was told and finished so perfectly. I only wish there was more for my own selfish benefit of never wanting to leave these characters and this world. I wish I could join the pirate crew of theAva Leeand become a swashbuckling pirate along with Alosa and the rest of this amazing crew! What a fantastic journey that I wont soon forget. ARGH!
Happy Reading:)

“Riden is up in the rigging, fiddling with the sails. He’s barefoot, shirtless, and he’s gone a few days without shaving. Holy hell. I’m staring. I know it, but I can’t seem to stop.
“I could get used to warm weather,” Niridia says from next to me. “Won’t exactly make everyone smell nice, but the view is vastly improved.”

“A pirate at sea has a peg leg, a hook for a hand, and an eye patch. One of his companions asks him how he lost his leg.” “Please stop,” Kearan begs. “He answers, ‘A cannonball.’ Then his companion asks how he lost his hand. He answers, ‘A sword.’” “Enwen, I will knock you unconscious,” Kearan threatens, but I can tell he doesn’t have the energy to carry it out. “When the companion asks how he lost his eye, the man says, ‘A spray of the sea.’” Kearan stares at Enwen. “That doesn’t even make any sense.” “It was his first day with the hook.”
