Summary:
In this sequel to OF POSEIDON, Emma has just learned that her mother is a long-lost Poseidon princess, and now struggles with an identity crisis: As a Half-Breed, she’s a freak in the human world and an abomination in the Syrena realm below. Syrena law states that all Half- Breeds should be put to death.As if that’s not bad enough, her mother’s reappearance among the Syrena turns the two kingdoms—Poseidon and Triton—against one another. Which leaves Emma with a decision to make: Should she comply with Galen’s request to keep herself safe and just hope for the best? Or should she risk it all and reveal herself—and her Gift—to save a people she’s never known?
Review:
Of Triton was a decent book, it wasn't amazingly good, but it wasn't so bad that I struggled to finish it. I usually I only give .5s to something above 4, but there was no other way to describe this book. The cover makes this book awkward to carry around, yet, I love how it reflects the last scene of this book.
Compared to the first book, Of Poseidon, this one doesn't meet my expectations. The problem with reading books as they come out is that you forget what happens in the first book. I only had the recollection of the first book being amazing; it was the best mermaid story I have read. I also remember that Galen was very "swoon" worthy. However, in this book, I found him worrying about Emma a tad too much.
There were high points in this book. Because Of Poseidon ended with a cliff hanger, the first part to Of Triton was very intense; Emma's mom wouldn't trust Galen and Galen was looking for Emma, but Emma was kidnapped by her mom... It was chaos. After that, things die down a little, but once the trials for the Royals start again, the plot picks up. The end of the book, seemed somewhat fairy-tale like -there was some loss, but mostly gain. The last scene would have made a magically ending if it were a movie.
