He makes deals with the devil and encourages evil in others.”Perfect reputation for a man capable of being King of the Pirates. He’s traveled every inch of the sea, fought off all manner of sea demons, including a shark, which he fought underwater with his bare hands. He’s said to be able to take on twenty men at once in battle. It promises for more adventure and who does not like an adventure novel where there is a search for treasure! The crew of the Night Farer were written as mostly scoundrels and there were a couple of characters that were downright terrible.The reputation of the Pirate King:“I’ve heard rumors of Kalligan’s dangerous deeds. It kept me on my toes wondering what she was going to pull next.I enjoyed the plot of her being on a secret mission and allowing herself to be caught by the crew of the Night Farer in order to obtain an ancient map. I enjoyed knowing that there was more to the story than she was displaying to the crew. Her character kept me entertained from start to finish. She is sassy, intelligent, and ruthless when it was required. It is the piece that is held by the Jeskor line that Alosa is currently searching for.What I loved: Alosa as a female pirate captain was enjoyable. The pieces had been handed down from father to son for many generations. The map was once whole but then it was separated into three pieces and given to each one of the three ancient pirates. This is an island heaped with unimaginable treasure that is guarded by magical creatures. Turns out I had nothing to worry about and it was lovely!In this world, there are three ancient pirate lines and once a long time ago they had a map that showed the way to the legendary Isla de Canta. I wasn’t sure how believable her character at seventeen was going to come across as a pirate captain.  My reason for being unsure was whether or not I was going to like this story due to the age of Alosa. I love anything pirates and bonus, female pirate protagonist, yep a must read. Daughter of the Pirate King was a book I knew I had to read.
