Hey, guys! In a weird bit of impulse, I decided to read Of Triton, the sequel to Of Poseidon, a book I didn't particularly like. I honestly don't know why I read this book. I liked it better than the first book, but wasn't blown away. I would say I was disappointed but I honestly wasn't expecting much.

Oh, look. It's two people kissing underwater. Woohoo. But, I'm not impressed and probably wouldn't read this out in public. C- cover
Official Description:
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 people she’s never known?
Once again, Anna Banks infuses Emma and Galen's points of view with humor, intrigue, and waves of romance.

My Review:
Most of this book, believe it or not, was about a trial. Sure, it was an underwater trial starring mermaids but still. It really wasn't what I was expecting.
The dialogue is still cheesy. Some of the "romance" between the characters is forced, if not a bit creepy. (The constant talk of mating seems possessive and a bit backwards.) The generic plot line of a Hot Merman Boyfriend was uninteresting and forced. However, I really enjoyed the court-case plot. I found myself speed-reading through certain parts. One of the character's betrayal completely caught me off guard, which I loved. That was great.
Did the positive outweigh the bad? Not really. If you liked the first book, you'll like this one too. I probably won't read the third, and last, book in this series, but who know? I didn't plan on reading Of Triton either!
