Yes, I did give this book five stars and you know why? 20% for the plot, 80% for AARON
I freaking loved Aaron so much and when he and Emily kissed I think my seven-year-old self screamed no joke, and now when I realize they were like twelve I don't know whether to laugh or feel discouraged but you know
I remember liking the plot for this too - something about an eclipse or some planetary thing, right? And then she met Aaron in the castle? Idk lol but I remember loving this book

I enjoyed this more than the second book but not as much as the first. Especially the last few chapters were really good.

Oh my, this one was more emotional than the past ones... I just felt so bad for Emily and then even worse for Aaron. It's just the first time Neptune was truly sad in grief and when we even find out why intermarriages were made illegal by him. I'm soo happy about the ending and can't wait to what adventures the new friends will go at. I recommend it to Emily Windsnap fans and everyone cuz it's a very fun read and the story and characters are great!

I love Aaron so much and I'm happy now Emily has a friend who knows her struggles of being a semi-mer!williamsdebbied's review against another edition

Third in the Emily Windsnap series.
When half-mermaid Emily Windsnap finds an old, beat-up diamond ring, she has no idea that it will bring Neptune's anger down on her, AGAIN. Neptune wants the ring back, but it will not come off of Emily's hand. Neptune curses Emily; on the night of the full moon, she will no longer be half-human and half-mermaid. Neptune will make her one or the other and force her to say goodbye to one of her parents forever. The only way out is to find another ring to complete the pair and break the curse.

5/5 stars of course (and so far my favorite in the series)
When these two rings connect, every action that was a product of anger or hate will cease to exist. And they will be worn only by a man from the sea and a woman from the earth, or the child that will exist from such a couple. And they will forever symbolize true love and its power against every bad thing
There are reasons this book is my favorite in the series, although I love it as a whole. Unlike the others that have the occasional laugh or the lighting of the atmosphere, this one is purely made of action, worries and Emily's doubts that are deeper than the ocean itself. It focuses on a mysteriously beautiful diamond ring Emily finds one day close to her ship, and realizes she can't take it off her finger. Poseidon, the king of the seas gets furious with Emily's finding and exiles her to a place far, far away, while at the same time throwing her a curse.
Emily's relationship with her parents is explained. She worries she'll lose one of them (especially her dad) again. Or that they don't love her. She worries she is not worthy of them more than the normal teenagers, and that mostly has to do with the things she went through. In this book, we saw how much of a strong girl Emily is in fact. Despite the young of her age, she was willing to gamble and play everything if there was at least one chance to save the people she loved, even if the waves took her life.
Another character I came to adore even more when I first read this book was of course Millie. Yes, she used to be a comic relief in the first book, but she became better and better, and I absolutely loved how protective and motherly she was in this one. Shona was also amazing, strong and loyal and always optimistic, despite the fact that Emily is always followed by a cloud. In this book, Emily also met her soulmate ♥
The writing and plot made me cry at least every minute, especially at the end. I sobbed and let the story keep me in its folds, and I also smiled and my heart warmed up by the beautiful ending and the promise that something good is about to happen, even if nothing seems like it.
I forgive you, he shouted at the moon, the sky. But she was gone. I forgive you, he said, and his voice softened into a whisper
Poseidon in this book was a little less of an asshole. I was happy to remember he had a very sensitive side and lots of open wounds that justified his harsh actions.
I don't know what else to say, since you guys probably are bored to hear how much I love this series. So I'll only say Please Read It. I know it seems childish. But it is so much deeper than someone can understand, so beautifully crafted and so refreshing, like the cool water of the sea.
Until my next review, see you soon, my beautiful readers ♥
Keep fighting for what's right. Keep caring for your loved ones. And never, ever give up, please ♥

Honestly, this entire series is just precious, and just very, not quite cozy, but kind of that feeling. Reading it is like when you're in a pool, and the sun is really hot and bright, and you're holding yourself up with some sort of floaty, but you're half asleep. That kind of relaxed feeling.
