The Red Witch would not attract so much readers. I think I would choose Brandy the Pirate Princess.

I think that the title of the book was able to best capture its wholesome contents and I do not see the need for a re-title.

Personally, I love books named after the protagonist, so I don’t think I’ll change anything about the title.

I liked the author's title for the novel, yet, I also like "The Red Witch" title. If I had to give this novel a title, it would be "Pirate Princess's Legacy" or "The Raider's Heir Return" titles.

The title of this book is wonderful, but if I had to rename it, I would call it "In the Wind of Pirate Revenge."

I'd have given it Pirate Princess if I were to rename the book.

The author takes a toll in scrutinizing the best title he could have ever arrived at. In this regard, I see it as perfect, exceptional, and no need to be altered. She is indeed a pirate princess even though she have aged in this book.

I do also like the updated title you gave the book. Possibly another good alternative title would be The Hidden Pirate.

The red witch is a fascinating novel that gets the most curious of minds

The book is adequately titled, but if I had to give one, it would be; "The journey of a Forgotten Heir."

If I was to retitle the book, it would be "Sarlet of the sea".

I'd retitle the book "Red Witch" probably because I've never read it but I'd love to keep it that way so the excitement can still be there

These titles are stunners! Perhaps the authors out there should use OBC member polls to debate published titles!

My re-title would go along the lines of "The Fire in Her Bones"

I like this suggestion. It adds an “heir” of mystery to the title :lol:

Honestly, I think that this title is quite original and fits the story well. Titles like "The Red Witch" or others mentioned feel less fitting and are less interesting in my opinion
