I'm not quite sure what to say about this one. I hated Reid. I still hate Reid. I wanted to kick Galen multiple times. I missed a lot of the secondary characters - especially since the Neptune people were boring. Even the baddies were boring. And yet I did enjoy the book. I suspect its because it tied everything together and that we finally got the island. There was nowhere near the fun sarcasm of the second one, either. And wow, I was originally going to give this 4 stars but as I type I'm downgrading it to three. Sorry Neptune.
The short story inside is better I think than the actual story. The main story is also more like a short story. I was very surprised about how Galen reacted to Racheal's death. That was also something that bothered me in the last book. The author just killed Racheal in the worst way! Sorry, but it's not bad just not like the rest of the books.
It was ok I wish that there was more romance between Galen and Emma. Emma and Galen were very doubtful of each other.
*2.5*
This book was not necessary in any way. The only part I liked was the epilogue and the beginning because only the original characters were in it, otherwise it was pointless fighting between Galen and Emma and it was not enjoyable.

2.5 stars - and that's a generous rating.
Sadly I'm disappointed to say that Banks should have stopped at book 2. Maybe that's a tad harsh but all this story gave me was a small aneurism every time Emma had an internal monologue. Some moments were just too much... It made me want to break her neck.
First off any form of love triangle at this point is just stupid and obnoxious. The whole premiss of this book is so beyond my level of comprehension. In the past two books Galen and Emma literally fight to stay together and just when they get what they want Emma decides to question it? Really? I mean come on!!!!!!!
Also, they make Rachel's death the call to action for Galen to go on this adventure but in the end that storyline never gets wrapped up. Did he miraculously get over his grief? Did he figure out his complex over death and loss? And what was he searching for anyways? What was the point of him going on this adventure?
Then there's the whole idea of Galen running off and leaving Emma (something so out of his character) and Emma responding by just going off with Reed without a care or question. Like what the actual f*&k When would that ever be plausible? Then when she finds out that he never made it back home, she STILL doesn't see a problem with this!
FITS I'M HAVING FITS HERE.
AND THEN THERE'S THE ENDING! The ending is so illusive and mysterious. What happened between the last chapter and the epilogue? We are under the impression that everything is all "happily ever after" but there's no explanation. We only got half the story here. The outcome for the town of Neptune is never explained. There are issues with Emma and Galen's future of going to college and living on land that is never discussed after being brought up. What happens to Jargon's son? For the final book in a trilogy, their are so many lose ends.
I can rant and rave forever but I'll leave on this note, skip the entire Of Neptune story and just read the epilogue. That was about the only enjoyable part for me.

At some points I was choking on the testosterone. Some things were a little too mushy gushy. And it didn't mesh perfectly with the story line of the first two books. It was kind of like a novella elongated to be a novel.
If I was rating this purely on enjoyment, I would have had to give it 1 star. As it is, I just didn't like Of Neptune. It might have been because I used this book to break a reading slump, but there was something about this book that annoyed me deeply. I might try rereading it later on, just because I liked the first two books, but I doubt it. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because the writing was good.
I liked the first two books just fine, but nothing had happened in this one. The theme would have been interesting, but the pacing was not it.
What is this about?
- boy disappeares
- girl doesn't even notice
- big nothing through the whole book
- boy escapes
- girl notices he disappeared, but it's too late, cause he is already free
- happy ending (I guess)

Am I the only one who is bothered by the fact that Emma never confronted her mom about how, if she had known what she was and what she could do, she could have saved her best friend's life?! That irked me from beginning to end.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! This book was a perfect ending to the series. I was very hesitant over reading this book because of the reviews where so many people didn't like it or was disappointed. I surprisingly wasn't ever disappointed and I definitely liked the book. I LOVED the book. I have enjoyed all 3 of the series.The books is about Emma and Galen's journey to Neptune where Emma's grandfather King Antonis sent her. The king persuades her to go. Emma and Galen soon discover this town is a town of Syrena, humans, and half-breeds just like Emma. Pale skin white blonde hair and several posses the gift of posiden. Emma meets Reed a half breed like her. Reed is very into Emma (annoyingly into Emma.) I wouldn't say I disliked reed but he was very annoying. People were mad at the things Emma did in the book but it wasn't a big deal to me and it was minor. Even though Galen and Emma weren't together for a big portion of the book, I thought their relationship got stronger. It just made them love each other more. Even though many people thought the second book should have been the end, I strongly disagree. Galen and Emma go through so much in this book and it really tests their relationship as a soon to be mated couple. Also you really get to see the relationship Emma had made with her grandfather. I loved that. This book ended the series perfect.
