I seriously can't get enough of this series. This book had plenty of drama, friendship, and romance in it. I loved it. You really get to see Galen and Emma's relationship develop. Everything you learned in the first book also comes into play and makes more sense in the second book. I love Galen's personality. He loves Emma unconditionally. Such a great read! I read the sea monsters memoir series before this and if you haven't read that series and you liked this one, you will love that one! But this was an amazing book.
I liked this one more than the last the characters are developing great and the story was good!
I liked this one better than the first one. The issues in Of Poseidon have been resolved except for a few lines which didn't seem natural to me. Loved the opening scenes and became a huge fan of Nalia from the get go. Mermaid or not, nothing hurts her baby cub (or should I say fingerling). Since the world was already built in the first book, this one seemed to be about action. I loved the tribunal scenes and cheered at the point where a confident and rational Grom takes the stage. I am not sure where she will be headed in the third book since most everything was wrapped up nice and tidy, but I look forward to more.
This book was awesome. While some aspects of the relationships really made my head hurt, it was still a great sequel. I wouldn't say it was better than the first book, just because Of Poseidon did an amazing job introducing the Syrena world and all its wonders.
The only complaint I have is sadness over the end. It was heart breaking to read and then deal with the characters reactions to what happened. While I think this book ended really well in terms of tying up loose ends, I do plan to read the third book.

A Nice following of the first book. Imperfect but very enjoyable
**2.5 stars**
Maybe my expectations were too high, but I didn't enjoy this as much as I did with the first book.
My Thoughts:
1. Since this book was shorter in length, the plot definitely moved at a faster pace. There was too many unnecessary problems and conflicts thrown in for the sake of drama.
2. I wished there was more character development; since the majority of the book was focused on resolving political issues, it felt like there was never a chance for the characters to fully develop.
3. For the entire time I was reading this it felt like something was missing. It could be because there weren't many romantic scenes between Galen and Emma...
4. I think I jinxed myself when I said this series wasn't cliché or predictable. The storyline in Of Triton was very linear and predictable for the majority of the book. Most of my theories were proven correct by the end.
5. Since the ending tied up everything so nicely, I'm don't know whether I should even bother reading the next book.

I almost stopped listening after it came to light that mermaid law requires that Galen mates with his girlfriend's mother
Like I said before, it's a bad trainwreck I can't look away from. I can explain myself here, though: I've had this book, the second book in the series, from my library’s Overdrive for almost exactly three weeks now. It’s due for return tomorrow and, unlike other library items, if it’s an Overdrive item, you can’t just hang onto it and pay the late fees; once your time is up, your time is up. So, yesterday, when I got the first book - before I knew what a dumpster fire these books were - I marathoned through that first book as quickly as possible, which was literally double the speed of the audiobook’s original speed. Once I finished that first book and discovered just how big a pile of shit it was, I was unsure if I wanted to even waste my time with this one.
After scrolling through the choices I had loaded onto my phone and my Audible and taking into account my rental period of this book ended tomorrow, I decided the answer was yes. Yes, I wanted to waste my time with this one.
There isn’t much else to say here that I didn’t already say in my review of book one, but there are a couple of things from there that I was confused about that I only became more confused about in this book.
First the worst: I’m so confused. What happened? Why did the things happen the way they did? How did this make it past copy edits? Did it get copy edits? The sad state of this "novel’s" "plot" certainly makes me wonder.
The second is why in god’s name does everyone in this series blow chunks so often? It was almost as if my complaint about it in the first book was heard and was somehow retroactively heard. Hell, the book practically opens with Rayna just ralphing all over Toraf and, later, Toraf does the technicolor yawn SO. MANY. TIMES. during and after a plane flight. Fucking A. Absolutely hilarious.
Still unintentionally hilarious. I’ll probably read the third one if I get it on Overdrive because these are entertaining in all the wrong ways. So bad it’s good. Goddamn. Like wow.
