"Everyone has something dark in their past. I suppose it's our job to overcome it. And if we can't overcome it, then all we can do is make the most of it." 
 I am really torn between four stars or five stars so I decided that I will settle for 4.5 stars. 
 I recently finished marathoning the whole Pirates of the Carribean film series and I found myself in a slump, so I decided to make the most out of my pirate-y mood and read a novel about pirates as well. 
 It's been a while since I read a book that has the middle grade feels and YA feels in it at the same time. The girl on the book cover reminds me of Merida from Brave with all the blue outfit and red hair stuff, I never really expected anything from this book, so imagine my surprise when the first line captivated me in an instant. It has the PoC vibe in it and I really adore the characters even the most unassuming of them all. 
 Daughter of the Pirate King, is a type of book that will just make you enjoy every single bit of it, without thinking of how predictable the plot is, or how dumb the characters are. It will just simply bring out the young reader in you. The main character Alosa, is a really lovable character she is someone in between of many things that I just couldn't explain. She have her morals and virtue and she somehow manages to preserve her honor despite of being a pirate captain. She reminds me of Jack Sparrow's love interest, Angela, the daughter of Blackbeard in so many ways possible.Riden, on the other hand, reminds me of William Turner. 
 All in all it was a great, short read.
