I really wanted more of this story so I was so excited for this book but nervous not having the book focused on Alosa and Riden. Boy was I wrong, I ended up falling in love with the strength and character growth of Sorinda. I truly enjoyed this new piece to the Daughter of the Pirate King series and vote for more!

Vengeance of the Pirate Queen had incredible world building and a compelling storyline. I really enjoyed reading about pirates.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel! Great series and wonderful characters. If you have not read the others in this series, you must! Tricia Levenseller has created a wonderful and imaginative world of pirates and adventure.

When I need something to save me from the brink of a reading slump I always pick up something from Tricia. She just had the perfect blend of romance fantasy and intrigue

Another triumph of a high seas adventure from author Tricia Levenseller. I was overjoyed when it was announced that there would be a new installment in this series, and the book more than lived up to the hype! I will happily join Alosa or anyone from her crew anytime they set sail on a new adventure.

This third book was by far the most exciting and action-packed book of the 3. There were plenty of action scenes just like I like my fantasy. I loved Sorinda’s character. We got a fully developed character with very interesting and complex back story. Not to take anything away from the other books because they were great as well. I just think I vibed with this one a little bit more. The series over all was fun, with an interesting world that I loved. I mean who doesn’t love a pirate story? Loved it!

Thank you so much to Feiwel & Friends, NetGalley, and the author for my eARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I am absolutely delighted by Tricia Levenseller’s stories. From The Darkness Between Us through the Daughter of the Pirate King/Siren Queen, I have loved every minute. Vengeance of the Pirate Queen is no different.

Sorinda, the Pirate Queen’s assassin, is a formidable FMC with zero feelings and all brute force. I really enjoyed how we uncovered more of her character as the events of this story unfolded, and how she was forced to face the things that made her so numb to the world. I loved her wit and humor (ie “do they expect us monsters to announce ourselves?”).

The last line of the book had me crying and I absolutely LOVED the bonus content of Tricia’s annotated first chapter. I love this world and I love Sorinda and I’m so glad I got to return to it after all this time.

This book is pure fire! This new adventure of Sorinda is perfection. I think this book is better than the last and I loved it. This book kept me up late reading it, no devouring every word of it!!

I can't even express how much I LOVED this book! I already loved the first two books in this series so much and didn't think it could get better but Kearan and Sorrinda were so fun to read about and I loved reading about their relationship and how it developed. I thought the plot was super fun as well and Sorrinda's inner narrative was heartbreaking but I loved reading from her perspective. Tricia Levenseller is officially an auto buy author for me!

I could not recommend this book more! If you enjoyed the first duology then you are going to love this book. I was anxious at first because I never like when we switch to a new point of view but I loved getting to know Sorinda. This book is easily my favorite in the whole series. I hope that Tricia decides to write more in this world with these characters. I have grown so attached to them.

This book focuses mostly on the plot, which I have to say was quite refreshing. The romance is very secondary in this story but the chemistry and slow burn between Sorinda and Kearan is just chefs kiss.

Oh what a fun and wild ride this one was! I have absolutely loved this whole series and I'm so glad we got a whole book about Sorinda, the pirate assassin. I loved the journey and adventure this story takes you on and I highly recommend this book after you've read the first 2 in the series!

I really enjoyed this book. It is a great follow up to the Daughter of a Pirate King duology. Sorosa's story pulls at your heart strings and keeps you wanting more. The story is suspenseful and keeps you wanting more. Soros has a great character ARC. The setting of this book is unique and Levenseller does a great job with the world building. I highly recommended this book.

Oh so good, Levenseller hasn't let me down yet in this series. Now I am a selfish reader and I NEED another story to finish off getting that brother. I very much enjoyed getting to know Sorinda and Kearan and a great adventure!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review,

While this book is a continuation in the Daughter of the Pirate King series, and reading those two books first will definitely enhance your reading experience, I think this book could function pretty effectively as a standalone. It starts out with an action-packed assassination scene and just gets more intense from there. There were times where I wanted things to maybe slow down a little, because the pace was maybe a touch too fast? But if you're looking for a fun pirate adventure, with some light fantasy and a whole lot of kickass women and girls, this will certainly do the trick.

The opening scene for this book was incredibly interesting and helped get me back into the world of The Daughter of the Pirate King books. I was so excited that this story focused on Sorinda from the other two books! Her character was my favorite from the original books. As always, Tricia Levenseller always presents various themes/messages throughout her books, which is why I always enjoy reading her books. This one in particular focuses on trauma, mental health, vulnerability, self-possession, and women’s empowerment. I really enjoyed the story; however, I found myself struggling near the middle of the book, but it was definitely worth not giving up on the story. I’m interested to see if the author will decide to write any more books based on characters from this book. I’d be interested to read one about Roslyn or a dual POV of Niridia and Mandsy storyline mentioned in the book. Also, this was a perfect little read for the winter in my opinion! Highly Recommend!

Thank you Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group, for sending me an arc of this phenomenal book in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Net Galley, for fiving me the opportunity to read and review books. Lastly, thank you Tricia Levenseller for writing a beautiful and meaningful work of fiction.

Thanks to the publisher for the NetGalley ebook.

I read the first two books in this series a few years ago when I was first getting back into my obsessive reading era, and if I remember right I read both of them in one night and slept not at all. This speaks to my being in the midst of falling back in love with reading and YA more than anything else, but even then not every book can get me to commit like that. So, I was super excited to delve back into this world.

Definitely feel like this book can be read as a stand-alone; you don't need to do your homework to jump right in. Levenseller knows the YA blueprint, clearly. This one was fast-paced, it had your badass female protagonist, and swashbuckling pirate mannerisms to entertain.

My main complaint is this book wanted to be fast-paced for the sake of being fast-paced. There were some sizable developments, both plot and character-wise, that just like, happened? At not the most believable pace? It felt like Levenseller just wanted to plow on through and move us along because there wasn't a ton of plot fodder she had left to give the book more dimensions. I can be more forgiving for the plot developments that seemed to just wrap up neatly with a very linear, predictable trajectory since that is a bit of a YA hallmark. But I cannot believe our a years-long childhood trauma was solved with one conversation. That's reeeeally pushing it.

Anyways, overall not mad I spent some time with this book. I think a younger readership will absolutely eat this up.

The perfect book and must-read for fans of Daughter of the Pirate King, you will love this new journey out on the sea. Sorinda is the main character and it starts out bloody and just gets better from there. Between this series and the Bloody Jack series, I've loved having pirate books to read (and who knew I'd like pirate books before I discovered these?).

Thank you, NetGalley and MacMillan Children's Publishing Group, for the e-arc!
And I really liked the original series and I am so glad to see a continuation from the same universe. I'm so glad that we get to learn more about some of the characters from The Daughter of the Pirate King. And I think the selection of the characters and the romance was fantastic as these were characters I wanted more from! And the story brings the same quality and adventure that the original series brings. If you love pirates and quests this is definitely the book for you!

★★★.5
Was this the best book I've ever read? No. Was it super easy to get into and enjoyable? Yes!

Pros: This book was the perfect quick read as the worldbuilding wasn't super in-depth which I actually enjoyed. The characters were fun and the pirate/found-family aspect added another layer to the story. Sea-faring vibes, slight romance plot.

Cons: Once I was able to get into the book, this didn't bother me as much, but in the beginning, the sentence structure felt very basic (i.e. she did this. Then she did this).

If you liked following Alosa in The Daughter of the Pirate King, you'll definitely like this addition to the story. It was a solid, fantasy story about an assassin-pirate learning to accept things in her past.

Thank you to Netgalley and Macmillan for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I’m SO glad we got more of this series, and I hope there’s even more to come. Sorinda reminds me so much of Inej Ghafa. She’s also basically Batman. I loved her development throughout the story. It has a really good message that I feel like we don’t see a ton but that everyone needs to hear. The King of the Undersea was a super fascinating villain, I loved him and his undead bois. And KEARAN. It’s the grumpy/sunshine trope, with Sorinda as the grump and Kearan and the sunshine. Also, Roslyn is forever the best character and I want her to get her own book or series when she’s older.
