Rate by viewers: 4.04/5 stars Pages: 246 Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy and Romance Summary from Goodreads: In this sequel to OF POSEIDON, Emma has just learned that her mother is a long-lost Poseidon princess, and now struggles with an identity crisis: As a Half-Breed, she’s a freak in the human world and an abomination in the Syrena realm below. Syrena law states that all Half- Breeds should be put to death. As if that’s not bad enough, her mother’s reappearance among the Syrena turns the two kingdoms—Poseidon and Triton—against one another. Which leaves Emma with a decision to make: Should she comply with Galen’s request to keep herself safe and just hope for the best? Or should she risk it all and reveal herself—and her Gift—to save a race of people she’s never known? My Rate: 4.5/5 My Summary: The Plot: I think Anna Banks came up with an exceptional plot. Even though there was a lot going on in the book , Anna constantly keeps her readers engaged in the plot. I really liked how the book didn't jump from event to event too soon or even drag on the scenes. I was a little disappointed that the book was a lot shorter than I was expecting. Since this was a sequel and we discovered all these plot twists in the first book I was expecting an extremely long book. Although this book wasn't as long as I wanted it was still perfection served on a silver platter. The Characters I love these characters, I love their one-liners, but sadly this book didn't portray much of the character development that I expected and was looking forward to. I was really excited for more Galen and Emma's relationship and what disappointed me the most was that they spent half of the book apart. I wanted to see more development between Nalia and Emma because Anna put this huge secret that was revealed in her first book but I don't really think Anna took all her chances that she had. I did like how you get more of a personal feeling for Rayna we did discover her more vulnerable side. Up until this book I always thought of Rayna as the tough kick-ass girl but in Of Triton I actually discovered that Rayna's much more vunerable then Anna portrayed her in the first book. I loved the more in-depth exploration of characters in this book. Setting Of Triton takes place in multiple locations. With Anna's descriptive word's you will believe you are breathing underwater in the middle of the pacific ocean. From the detail she uses I almost believed that at one point in her life Anna has jumped of a helicopter into an ocean full of sharks. Anna describes the surroundings with such vigorous words that you might actually believe you are at the alleged place. There are certain books that you keep coming back to and the Of poseidon series is one of those books that you will read and re-read many times. My Final Viewpoints Of Triton is an exceptional book It is full of one-liners and characters with vivacious personalities. Anna Banks out did herself on this book and she IS one of my authors to watch. I have read all her books and her talent flows throughout all of them. R.D Cumming once said a good book never ends, and I totally agree because I hope this series will never end and we will continue to read the amazing books by Anna Banks. Look out for her third book, Of Neptune, which I am dying to read.
