I know, I know, its mermaids. BUT its good I swear!! Personally I love mermaids! They are so cool to me, especially the ones that can shift their fins into legs and walk on land! Now if you haven't read Of Poseidon I suggest you do that because this is major spoil-ige right here. If you are a hard core book nerd and will read this series even knowing what will happen I commend you, you are amazing. MOVING ON! So when I finished Of Poseidon I was like "Wait! What? Where's the rest?!?!" When I figured out there was a second I was ecstatic. Of Poseidon was funny, adorable, and really just wonderful and left me with a pleasant feeling inside even with the ending. So I started reading Of Triton thinking that this was gonna be like the last one and not emotionally traumatizing, I mean common its Emma and Galen. AHAHAHAHA I was so wrong! Dont get me wrong this book was amazing and funny and adorable too...but it was soooo not what i was expecting. It was so much more nerve wraking and endless amounts of "oh my gosh, oh my gosh, no how are they gonna fix this!?!?! AAHHH!!!" Basically *grins* I loved it! Here's why:
Emma. Emma is amazing. She is half Syrean and half human so she can't grow a fin or blend but she can breathe underwater and doesn't get hypothermia. Her mom is the long lost Syrena princess Nalia who was betrothed to Galen's brother Grom. Now Emma isn't bad-ass in the usual sense of like amazingly strong and scary, she's bad-ass in the sense of her temper is legendary and her snarky comments? The funniest! She is one of the most like-able characters who's POV I have read from. Other characters always have that one thing that irritates me, but not Emma. She is the bomb. Emma is strong willed, bull headed, and really reeeaaallly smart(a deadly combination for any unsuspecting Syrena). OHMYSWEETGOODNESS!!!! And her Gift! She can control fish! It sounds lame but its not, she can control anything under the sea: sharks, whales, dolphins, fish...all of them. Its pretty cool.
Now Galen. He is a Syrena prince and *cough* is in love with Emma and she with him. *grins like a lunatic* It is so cute I can't even begin to describe it!!! *laughs* I describe a particular scene from this book with an adorable moment between them to one of my friend and her response was "Why can't this be my life?" <3 Its just......*still grinning* they are wonderful and adorable. He knows just how to keep Emma calm and she knows just how to keep him sane and keep his confidence up. GAH!
There are two other couples that I want to discuss briefly: Toraf and Rayna & Nalia and Grom. THEY ALL ARE SO PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER OH MY GOSH!!!!! They are all cute and adorable and make me want to squeal and giggle and just have relationship like that and then die from the happiness of it all. No exaggeration. They just fit each other perfectly.
Now the only hard part for me with this book was the villain Jagen(I think thats his name sorry if it isn't). He is just SO terrible and his motivations were never really clear to me, like at all. He just uuuggghhh I don't know I hate him like you're supposed to but he irritates me not just as a person but as a character! And his daughter Paca!!! Like WTF!!!! Grow some balls or think for yourself or SOMETHING!!!! JEEZ!!!!
Overall I really loved, loved, LOVED this book and the one before it! They are filled with adorable snarky wonderful rainbows. You should read them. Yup. Definitely should. Seriously the relationships and characters *dies* wonderful, just wonderful.

Ohmysweetgoodness. (Can I say how much I hate that that mashup of words was Emma's version of an expletive? Damn it, you're 18, you can at least say, "Crap!") I disliked the writing style of the second book as much as the first. The tense switching was so awkward.
Anyway, it was light reading, good for lunch breaks and such. However, I don't think I'll read the third book. Considering this book wrapped up all loose ends, there doesn't seem to be much of a point to a third, beyond a profit margin.

AMAZING!!! Rachel u will be missed Sweet Pea!!! And Rayna is my fave character in the whole series!! She has a big mouth and i love it!! Galen is more charming!!! Toraf is too cute,,, and the way he risk his life!!! HE knew Galen's new priority would have been his death but it was worth it!!!! Nalia and Grom perfect shipping!! <3
I liked it. Though honest it wasn't even half as funny as the first book, which is a little disappointing. I really missed the one Mississippi.... two Mississippi...
But since I really enjoyed the first book I liked meeting Emma and Galen again.
A funny thing: Do u know what Galen means in Swedish? Haha it means crazy ^^

Still a good book! I maybe would give it a 4 though. I didn't care for the overly mushyness of it. I'm over romance novels right now so I can do without it.

I loved this series! This book was really good too. I did think it was a little strange that all of a sudden she is able to be under water for hours and hours at a time.
