brittyinthecity 's review for:
Of Neptune
by Anna Banks
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.
