Despite the flaws in the plot and world building, I love these characters. Their personalities, quirks and banter are great, making this a very fun summer read.
I'm not sure I liked this book very much. Almost nothing happened. I'm both sad that it was so short and happy that it was so short.
The writing bothered me a lot. It may be because I've read so many books with such great writing recently that it makes this one laughable. And the writing isn't nearly as bad as Emma: she's immature she was at times. And she would call herself out on it and yet still act childish. I got over her quickly.
Some parts were good and had me glued to the page and other parts had me rolling my eyes.
Oh! And God, I hate the first person to the third person pov. I don't get it. Why could Banks just stink to one? It threw me off so much during the first few chapters.
Sigh, do I even want to read the third book?
Probably not.
Still wish I could talk to fish though!

“I wonder how many tears the ocean has swallowed, how much of the ocean is actually made of tears.”I have to say, I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. I don't know if it's because it genuinely managed to get to me, or if it's because I didn't have any expectations, to begin with. But this is a solid follow-up to the first novel, picking up right where we left off and dealing very well with the consequences of what we learned in the previous installment. The fundaments were laid on Of Poseidon, now we reach the climax.
One of my favorite things about this book was the relationships between the characters and how they were developed here. Emma and Galen aren't one of those sickly-sweet lovey-dovey couples who only think of making out during the worst of times while things are falling apart around them - they are very much in love, but they deal with the serious stuff heads on when it's needed. Emma actually listens to the adults/more experienced ones without doing reckless stuff or throwing tantrums because she wants to help while actually getting in the way of everyone else and putting herself in danger. She only goes against what she's told to do when there's no other option/she thinks someone's in trouble.
Rayna remains my least favorite character - opposed to Emma and Galen, she has the least amount of development and maintains her spoiled and reckless ways through most of the book, despite having a side plot all on her own. She really annoyed me most of the time.
The ending is not that surprising (I really didn't expect it to be), but I think it was well-done and satisfying all the same. There was one choice the author made, though, that surprised me and had me tearing up (I was NOT happy) - and I'm interested in what this will mean for our MCs and what impacts it will have in the final book. Actually, I'm really interested in what Anna Banks will do in the third novel, because I fell like the story was wrapped up perfectly by the end of this installment, so it could've easily been the conclusion.
I liked this book so much. It's way more exciting than the first one.
I knew where we were headed because somehow I remembered parts of the plot line but now I’m seriously questioning what’s gonna happen in book 3
Entertaining, quick easy fun read. Not as good as the first one, but I will definitely read the third.
Nuevamente ha sido muy divertido leer esta saga, es como volver a una Paula lectora de hace muchos años. Es una historia muy teenager con una parte de fantasía.
En esta ocasión nos metimos más en la acción que es lo que sentí que faltaba al anterior, así que claramente ha sido una mejora. Ahora estoy segura que el primer libro es más bien una introducción.
Me gustan mucho los personajes, en especial Emma, aunque a veces su corriente de la conciencia me exaspera, como todo ese berrinche interno que hizo sobre. A veces su lógica no es realmente lógica jaja, pero está bien, es una teenager, se le puede entender en ese sentido.
Me encantan Galen y Emma juntos, así que he disfrutado harto eso. Jagen me volvía loca y amé cuando
Tengo una idea de lo que se puede venir en Of Neptune, ya veré si es así.
