These books are adorable, and I will definitely send them the way of kids asking for a good series. Quite predictable but cute.

Neptune is still an evil ruler who is manipulative and abusive to his subjects. Beeston is still described as creepy by both of the protagonists and physically abuses the MC on multiple occasions. Mandy's parents are definitely in a toxic relationship.atlantiareads's review against another edition

Just as cute as the first book. Emily Windsnap and her Friend Shona are ready to explore their new home, and when they do the awaken something that many had forgotten about. Now they are the only one who can save their friends and families.
I really enjoyed this second book in the Emily Windsnap series, and I can't wait to see what happens next!

This book was utterly stupid and my least favorite among the Emily windsnap series. Like, she goes to a restricted area, sets a monster free, causes chaos, doesn't tell anyone about it, and then becomes the hero by saving everyone. Awesome plot right?

Still fun, still appealing to middle-grade girls, although the low self-esteem and drama of the girls in the books started to annoy me after a while. The other thing that I didn't like so much was that the main character was, although understandably excited to learn more about, and fit into, mermaid/merman culture, it seemed like she also didn't mind shunning human culture, because mermaid/merman culture was "better." I know that this is supposed to be lighthearted, middle-grade book, but the fact that Emily is half-human and half-mermaid seems to set the stage of exploring identity, and it just seems wrong to me that she should prize one side of herself more than another (but this could also be because to me, it seems to smell of preferring one's privileged origins when one is multiracial or multicultural). It's not a deal-breaker, and I'm not overly sensitive about it, but I think that it would be a great addition to the series for it to be addressed (and maybe it is in later books ;).
