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.

I LOVE this world and this series. When I saw a new edition (see what I did there) coming out, I knew I needed it! I was not disappointed.

This epic adventure throws you right back into the high seas in a world of sirens and pirates and THE PIRATE Queen. Alosa, the Pirate Queen, has set up her empire, but still faces challenges. When Sorinda gets back from an assassination for her, Alosa has a new mission: one where she will captain a ship into unknown territory. On this rescue mission, Sorinda finds herself stuck with Kearan and if things couldn't get worse... there's a VIP stowaway in the midsts as well.

This story had elements that reminded me of Game of Thrones and I LOVED it. Will Sorinda be able to outsmart the King of the Undersea, rescue Alosa's missing crew, keep her stowaway safe AND fight her growing feelings?

This book takes place almost a year after the end of the second book and pivots to a new POV. It was apparent that the FMC and MMC would be a focus by how they were singled out in the first and second books. I was excited to get into their story, finally. This book could have easily been read as a stand-alone. Familiar characters are mentioned and interacted with on few occasions.

The world building was easy with a familiar knowledge of the past 2 books. There was hardly any overlapping magic from the first books, and the magic in this book was basically brand new. But also extremely vague. There were a few plot holes in regard to the magic system.

I found the character arcs to be the most satisfying thing about the book. There was palpable character growth, but having to read the FMC questioning her self worth every other page was a little exhausting. Im glad the MMC was there to completely dispel her feelings of inadequacy… even though I wish she had done that herself. I do wish we had a little more from the MMC. He seemed to only be there to prop her up. I think things could have gone a lot deeper, emotionally, if we had seen some of his POV.

The book very clearly set up the series to follow the other friends on their own side quests.

Thank you NetGalley, Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group and Feiwell & Friends for an Advanced eReader Copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I remember years ago when I first received daughter of the pirate king from Owlcrate. Tricia Levenseller's writing is so descriptive and beautiful you can taste the salt in the ocean! This book is no different and I love the updated cover with sprayed edges. You sea, romance, action, and pirates I'm not sure what else you can ask for at this point. I know y'all will enjoy this book as well!

Pirates, assassins, missing pirates, undead armies, immortal beings... this book has it all! Vengeance of the Pirate follows Sorinda, personal assassin to Alosa, Queen of the pirates. When Sorinda is asked to captain a ship to track down missing undercover pirates, she knows she's the wrong person for the job. She's used to being hidden in the shadows and following orders. Not front and center calling the shots.

As Sorinda and her crew face dangerous sea creatures and deadly enemies, she must face her inner demons in order to save the world.

I love everything about this series. . They're quick reads while still being engaging and enjoyable. Are they perfect? No. Are they far fetched? Absolutely. But that's what makes them so magical.

I forgot how much I enjoyed Trica Levenseller's Daughter of the Pirate King series, then I picked up Vengeance of the Pirate Queen and it came back to me! I love the relationship between Sorinda and Kearan. Sorinda is a take-no-prisoners type of woman but she has to sail with Kearan who made a terrible first impression. And second for that matter.

The book is full of adventure and romance on the high seas. I genuinely enjoy Levenseller's pirate world and the continuation of this world in Vengeance is wonderful!

Check it out!

Rating: 4.5/5
I received eARC for my honest opinion.

Wow, this book has an assassin pirate, action, mystery, a chilling villain, and an army of undead, oh and we cannot forget the best part, pirates!

I have always loved Levensellers books so much and this book is number three in The Daughter of the Pirate King series. It is a little different with this book being about Sorinda and Kearan story instead of Alosa’s and Riden story. It does have them in the book, but I loved that in this book we got to hear and see the story of Sorinda. I loved it! I thought it was something different from the other books but still had the same vibes as the first two.

In this book you will be taken on a new adventure with the crew of the Vengeance ship, they were tasked with finding and bringing back another ship of Alosa’s people that have gone missing. However, when they get to the location where their ship was last known they find themselves in a battle against other tribal people who speak a different language and who don’t ask questions first just kill. They will find themselves in the mix of trying to outsmart an immortal who can control the undead and wants to make Sorinda his mate forever. On top of everything that the crew is trying to battle you will get to know Sorinda better and watch her own growth with her past and trying to figure out her future and if that means having Kearan in it with her.

I loved all the action, the drama, the suspense and of course the slow burn romance that was perfectly done. I loved the out of the world sea monsters, the rescue mission and having to fight off the Kind of the undersea. I love the characters in this book, but I loved Sorinda in the other books so having her own book was perfect for me. She is so strong, fierce, speaks her mind, and has no problem with making people walk the plank. However, it’s the trying to get her to talk about her emotions that makes her scared. The romance side of the book is on the back burner, but you still see it throughout the book, but it isn’t until the ending that you will be saying it’s about time.

I can’t say much more without giving away important parts of this book. I really do hope that after reading my review that you go out and get this book and read it for yourself.

I recommend this book to anyone who likes action packed scenes, great development from characters, slow burn romance, fantasy and found family.

I want to thank NetGalley and Macmillan Children's Pub for the opportunity to review this book.

Yes, Pirates of the Caribbean and The Mummy are two of my favorite movies. This had all the adventure on the open sea as they tried to find some missing girls. Then got sweeped up into a bigger more dangerous problem. All the while Sorinda and Kearan (peep the age gap) were fighting their attraction. Though when someone else tries to vie for her hand things get interesting. And a lot bloody.

This is a standalone but is in the same world as the Daughter of the Pirate King books which I haven’t read yet. I am sure it would be much more enjoyable if I had read those first. I am sure there was more groundwork in their relationships and characters that I missed out on in those books.

Thank you macmillan for the e-ARC for my honest and voluntary review.

Earlier this year I somehow binge read all of Tricia Levenseller’s books so of course I had to get this one too.

This book is set in the same world/time as the Daughter of a Pirate King duology, but follows the assassin Sorinda—who IS a murderous assassin if the opening scene doesn’t tell you so.

You won’t find the big romance plot of other two in this one, though there is a slow burn romance, it’s mostly pushed to the background with nothing much happening till the end. The focus is more on the rescue mission and fighting the King of the undersea. This author always manages rep mental health in her books and I love it. Yes, Sorinda is an assassin and fierce fighter but she also deals with her own mental health and dealing with her past.

If you enjoyed Pirates of the Caribbean, check this one out because the vibes are there! You also have sea monsters! Not a kraken, but I’ll take it.

The book is marketed as the Pirates of the Caribbean meets The Mummy, but I only saw the Pirates similarity. The ending is wrapped up a bit quickly, but I was still able to enjoy the book overall.

This book is for those looking for:
A pirate rescue mission in the high seas
Sea monsters and sea shenanigans
An assassin that’s oddly relatable
A slow burn romance (YA)
He falls first
Mental health rep

I remember reading Daughter of the Pirate Queen and thinking it couldn't get any better. Then I read Daughter of the Siren Queen and thought how did this get better? After reading Vengeance of the Pirate Queen, well I think I have a new favorite character from this world.

As much as I will always love Alosa, Sorinda is just this amazingly strong woman, that has no problem speaking her mind, taking what she wants, or maybe pushing people off a plank or running them through with a cutlass.

The absolute only thing that could have made this book better was for it to be longer, well that and ... no just that, I loved everything about this book, anyone who even thinks should I read this, yes, the answer is yes.

Thank you to Macmillan Children's Publishing Group and NetGalley for providing an advance copy of this E-Book, I have voluntarily read and reviewed it and all thoughts and opinions are my own.

After really enjoying the previous Pirate Queen books, I was so excited to get an ARC of this one!

True to the previous books in the series, there was a ton of action with a dash of romance mixed in. The storyline was relatively fast-paced and kept you on your toes for much of the book. I thought the main plot was an interesting concept, and a completely fresh twist on Alosa's previous adventures that really gives Sorinda a chance to shine. However, I really wish there was more romance! There was some build up between Sorinda and Kearan in the other Pirate Queen books, but I would've loved more time with them to see more of their actual relationship.

This was a great quick read, and I recommend checking out the whole series for some fun, action-packed stories starring bright, brave, and very real young women. The magic and romance are an added bonus!

Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Children's Publishing Group for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

It’s been two weeks since I read this book, but I keep putting off writing this review because I don’t want to admit it but… this book was so disappointing.
Vengeance of the Pirate Queen is a standalone spin-off of the Daughter of the Pirate King Duology. It follows Sorinda, the assassin of Alosa, the newly minted pirate king when she is sent to explore new waters on a rescue mission to save lost pirates.
DotPK is one of my roman empire series. I’ve read it three times. I think about it often. I love it—and I loved Sorinda in that series. Not to mention the fact that the love interest in this book is Kearan, who was my all time favorite side character in the original series! I had such high expectations for this book, and it fell flat on every count.
Every aspect of this book felt underdeveloped to me. I enjoyed learning Sorinda’s back story, but her personality felt underdeveloped. She lacked a depth that made her feel like a real person. I enjoyed Kearan more and he felt more rounded, but the two of them together lacked chemistry. They had some fun lines of banter, but there was no romantic spark. They read to me like friends, and I wasn’t convinced that there was or could be anything more to them.
Similarly, the plot felt haphazard. It was unique, but it was rushed, and a few plot points were brought up once and then abandoned and never mentioned again.
An invincible man who can control the dead? There is so much potential there! Unfortunately, the execution was not where it needed to be. We get only the most preliminary depiction of the magic—leaving me unsatisfied and with far too many questions—and the book focuses more on the King of the Undersea himself. Levenseller makes an attempt at displaying a villain who is a villain because he is a corrupt, selfish, and manipulative man who wants to control everyone—especially Sorinda, a woman. Again, there is potential here. But the depiction ends up too on the nose and too shallow. If you’re going to write a character study of a manipulative man who became corrupted due to an obsession with power and control, you need to commit to that, and you need to explore it deeply. There was no resonance in this depiction, because we are told more than shown his manipulations. We are constantly told, point blank, He is a manipulator who wants control and power and submission from me. It’s so unsubtle that it’s just annoying. The true insidiousness of these kind of men is their ability to hide in plain sight and to manipulate—but his actions were just outright obvious manipulations, and Sorinda is well aware of that fact at every turn (which she should be, because it’s obvious) that it all rings hollow.
And that’s not to mention the fact that, at the end, his entire manipulitous nature is assigned to the magical object itself, thus causing any real exploration that was attempted to be essentially null and void either way. If you’re trying to make a statement on corrupt men in our world and society (and the way this read very much felt like someone trying to Make A Statement) you cannot then blame that thing on a magical object that corrupts its user. That negates the whole point. And that aspect of the magic didn’t even make sense in the context of the object itself or the world as a whole.
However, there were redeeming qualities. The book was fast paced and easy to read, and I truly loved some of the side characters, both new and returning. Especially Kearan. He has my whole heart and I loved seeing more of him and getting to know his character more deeply. Similarly, I thought the premise was unique, if not executed especially well.
I will continue to read more of Tricia Levenseller’s work, but unfortunately this one has left me disappointed.

[Actual Rating 4.25] Vengeance of the Pirate Queen is the third novel of the Daughter of the Pirate King series. This novel is a companion to the main duology, so it could be read as a potential standalone; however, it is best to read the other two novels to have a more well-rounded understanding of the universe. The main duology followed the half-siren Pirate Queen, Alosa, whereas this story follows her right-hand personal assassin, 18-year-old Sorinda Veshtas. I enjoyed that her introduction to the reader included scenes of her assassinating others. It showed the audience how ruthless she can be in her missions instead of purely telling the reader that she could do those tasks. As a loyal member of Alosa’s team, I do wish that her loyalty was explored a little more. For this, it is said a little more than shown about why Sorinda is loyal.

Sorinda is tasked with a mission to rescue members of Alosa’s crew. She sets sail on the Vengeance along with 20-year-old Kearan Erroth, her sailing master. During their mission, they accidentally awaken the King of the Undersea, who controls the undead. The two of them have a history which develops into a slow-burn romance. Kearan is an interesting love interest as there are many traits about him that are “average” compared to many love interests in other novels. Their relationship is not over the top with chemistry, but it is still present. Sorinda is an interesting character as she was both likable and not. She goes through a lot of growth in the story, and I enjoyed following her journey. For those that read the duology, like me, the relationship between the reader and Alosa is already established, so I was not sure how Sorinda would compare. While the two characters are very different, they did have some similarities, which was a nice tie between the duology and this story.

Levenseller’s writing continues to be immersive. Her style of storytelling is something I connect with during each reading experience. There is a simplicity to the writing, yet it continues to be interesting. The pacing of this story started slower than expected, especially for a standalone story. For me, it read more as the start of series. It did come together by the end and was a difficult novel to put down. This was easily read in a single sitting. I actually ended up both reading the printed version and listening to the audiobook version. I loved both types and felt the narrator did an amazing job. Levenseller continues to be an enjoyable author and I cannot wait to read more from her in the future.

**I give a special thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this entertaining novel. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.**

Thank you to MacMillan Children’s Publishing Group and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of Vengeance of the Pirate Queen to review!
In this riveting new book from Tricia Levenseller we follow Sorinda, the pirate queen’s assassin. The pirate queen (Alosa) believes that Sorinda is ready for more than just killing and decides to appoint her as captain of her own ship to send her on a rescue mission up north. Amid her crew is Kearan, the best helmsman working for the pirate queen, but also someone who seems to be able to see through all the walls Sorinda builds around herself. Their rescue mission quickly turns exponentially more complicated when they stumble upon the King of the Undersea who has developed a fascination with Sorinda. This fast-paced pirate novel has action, fantasy, and an epic love story.
3.5 stars
I feel like I need to preface this review with the fact that I did read Daughter of the Pirate King and Daughter of the Siren Queen and I remember enjoying both but I remember literally nothing about either of the books. Not a character, not a plot point, nothing. So I was basically going into this book completely in the dark but I didn’t find it very hard at all to orient myself in the story. Obviously I don’t remember Sorinda, Kearan, or any of the other characters from the previous novels but I was still able to thoroughly enjoy reading about them in this one. The beginning of the story felt pretty choppy and just didn’t flow very well. I felt like Sorinda and Kearan had a hard time settling into their characters, and she came off as really rude when she would constantly rub his addiction problems in his face. However, once we got going on the voyage (about ⅓ of the way through) the story really picked up and kept at a steady pace throughout the rest of the book. Once I hit around 60% I did not want to put down the book, I just really wanted to know what happened! I feel like pirate novels are wildly underrated and there need to be more in YA because they’re literally so interesting!! I liked how the love story wasn’t really enemies to lovers, it was more like “woman decides man who was originally unlikable has improved and might have redeeming qualities.” I really liked what we saw of Kearan’s redemption arc with alcohol addiction, it was very interesting and I wish we got to see more of that. Sorinda and Kearan had so many good moments throughout the book which I LOVED. Overall, this was just a really fun book to be able to dive into. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes YA fantasy, definitely pick it up!!

🤍 Thank you so much @turnthepagetours and @mackidsbooks for the copy of this book and letting me be on the tour for Vengeance of the Pirate Queen!🤍

I have been eagerly anticipating another Tricia Levenseller book and it delivered!

I was instantly sucked back into this world. Sorinda, our kick-butt heroine, has such an amazing story and journey. I was rooting for her from page one.

And oh swoony Kieran. I’ve loved his dynamic with Sorinda in the previous books and this one was no different.

I highly recommend picking this series up!

A smart and stoic heroine. A fun motley crew. All the Pirate adventures! This is a great spin off if you loved the original series.

**4.5 stars**

It took me a minute to get into this one. I wasn’t sure where this story was going to go.

I really wish I would’ve reread the series before this book because I forgot so much!

I felt that the beginning of the story was very slow but it finally picked up about 40% of the way through and I liked it a lot!

I liked the FMC’s character. I know it was YA but felt it could’ve benefited from being adult with a few more adult themes!

I was SO excited to read more from the world of The Daughter of the Pirate King books! I absolutely loved that duology and I’m so glad to get more of these epic sea adventures. With a new leading lady, Sorinda (an Aelin-esque assassin), this story has no shortage of action and adventure and I absolutely loved the slow burn romance. Overall, I definitely recommend this swashbuckling story to any lover of sea tales!

This was almost a 4.5, but I liked the original duo a tiny bit better.
I actually reread the first 2 before reading this one. I didn't end up having to, this would have been fine with reading them a long time ago, but I'm so glad I did. This book felt more like a spin off, it followed a different main character (Sorinda) but there were a lot of references to the relationships between the characters and plot lines in the prior books.
This book (obviously) takes place mostly on the sea. There is a lot of action, adventure and sea creatures. It was easy to follow and fun, there was a lot of nautical talk but it was "dumbed down" enough for people not familiar with the terms to understand them. Sorinda is hired by Alosa to rescue some crew that went missing and it takes them on a journey none of them were expecting. While a lot of this book did take place on the sea, some of the more important parts took place once Sorinda and crew started to figure out what happened to the missing crew members. It was exiting and action packed, but I don't want to give anything away. I was really on the edge of my seat near the end when everything seemed to be going wrong.
I really did like Sorinda. We didn't get her full story in the original duology so I loved getting to hear her backstory. She started closed off, but we really got to see her open up throughout the book. Kearan was wonderful as well, we know from the first books that he kind of has a crush on Sorinda but she is not interested. He is so patient and understanding. I think one of my favorite characters was Roslyn. Her father worked on Alosa's ship in the first books and she is his child. She stows away on Sorinda's ship and ends up being such a joy for the book.
I'm not sure if there will be more books in this series, but I would love to continue reading books set in this world!

This book was absolutely everything! I loved the initial duology, and it's been so nice to revisit this world with characters old and new. The plot was very solid in my opinion, and I am still obsessing over it, hours after I finished the book. The romance wasn't too heavy, but I still got enough to keep me satisfied. I read it in one sitting, and I can only highly recommend this!
