Of Triton by Anna Banks

I'm sorry it has taken me so long to post this. I finished the book a little bit ago, but I am just now where I can post. I finished reading Of Triton by Anna Banks. This is the second book in her trilogy. In this installment they have discovered that Nalia the long lost triton princess is alive, and is Emma's mom. When everyone is reconnected, they face a problem, Jagen has managed to turn the kingdom against them, and the royals go on trial to prove the identity of Nalia, and to prove that Paca does not have the gift of Poseidon, But can they do it without putting Emma in the mix? I love this book. This was my second time reading it, and it probably won't be the last. I loved how this book takes place mostly under water in the Syrena realm, as opposed to the first book, where most of it took place on land. This book gives you more emotions too. You feel more hurt and sadness, but you also feel really happy at times, and you will probably also have "what the what?" Moments. You have to check out this series. You won't be disappointed.

Of Poseidon by Anna Banks

This is my second time reading this book. I have read the first and second book in this trilogy and I am rereading them in order to read the third. In Of Poseidon by Anna Banks, Emma, a normal 18 year old girl, discovers she isn't so normal after all, shes a Syrena, another name for a mermaid. (but don't call them that.) Galen, a drop dead gorgeous Syrena prince, discovers her and helps her find out what she is, because she's different from the other Syrena, and she cant grow a fin. Galen has to fight his growing attraction to Emma, not just because its forbidden, but if he decides to mate with Emma, it could endanger the Syrena people as a whole, by putting an end to the gift of Poseidon. The first time I read this book, I started reading it at 7PM and finished reading it at 8AM the next morning. I love this book. The relationship between Galen and Emma is so innocent, yet intense. Galen is definitely swoon-worthy. He's so Naive, but that only makes him hotter. The only thing I had one of my friends comment on not liking about this book, is that it switches between first person and third person. Each chapter it switches. When it is in first person, it is Emma's POV. When it switches to third person, you are seeing through Galen's eyes. I don't mind this. I still enjoyed the book. It has a great plot and great characters, but if you aren't a fan of third person books, you could find it challenging. I hope you enjoy this read as much as I did. Now its time to read the second book in this trilogy, Of Triton.
