I know you are a good guy but he was such the typical YA hot boy moody, arrogant, with ripped abs, that I couldn't quite get there. Emma's is told in first person while Galen's is in 3rd person - present tense. The story is told in alternating POV between Emma & Galen. The main and supporting characters are all interesting, the mermaid mythology is fresh and original. Of course, this is a problem for Galen with the whole Emma must mate with my brother thing.įirst the good! The story really does start off great. It's a rare occurrence when two Syrena choose each other rather than an arranged mating. Galen knows it's his duty to bring Emma to his brother for a mating but starts feeling "the pull" towards Emma. I'm willing to see if the author is trying to make a bigger point later in the series and amps up the girl power.
It's how the Syrena society works so I get it but a few instances, particularly between Galen's sister and her mate, really ticked me off. This is a society of arranged matings where the girls don't have much (as in any) say. According to tradition she should marry Galen's brother Grom to help join the Poseidon clan with Grom's Triton clan to save both kingdoms’s. She can talk to and control sea creatures. Although humans don't yet know they exist, Galen is trying to study mankind and avoid confrontations between the two species.Īfter a tragic event Emma discovers that she’s not an ordinary human girl and has the Gift of Poseidon. The boy she meets is Galen, a merman (please don't call him that though…he's Syrena and Syrena royalty at that!) who is serving as an ambassador between the human and Syrena worlds. She meets a hunky guy on the beach after literally smashing into & sticking to his chest. She's loyal, a great friend, just a tad awkward and funny. Check!Įmma started off as an incredible character. Check! Action packed with a big twist right out of the gate. Check! Alternating POV with the hot hero. Review:Things got off to a great start with Of Poseidon. He needs her help-no matter what the risk. That is, until a deadly encounter with a shark proves that Emma and her Gift may be the only thing that can save his kingdom.
Although their connection is immediate and powerful, Galen's not fully convinced that Emma's the one he's been looking for. It’s while Emma is on vacation at the beach that she meets Galen. Galen, a Syrena prince, searches land for a girl he's heard can communicate with fish.
