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 people she’s never known?

What I loved: This picks up where Of Poseidon left off and we're tossed right back into the tidal wave of action, adventure and romance with our favorite Syrena and Half-Breed. In keeping with the first book, Of Triton is told from alternating POV's and offers up quite a few surprises, some of which will garner smiles and others that will break your heart, but all are presented in Anna Banks' snarkilicious blend of wit, humor and sass.
Laws are meant to protect those they govern but what happens when holding to the letter of the law could cause more harm than good? This is the question Emma, Galen and the others have to answer when her mother's true identity comes into question. And while the two lovefish do want the overall result to work in their favor, they may find themselves on opposing sides especially where Emma's safety is concerned. However, a divided Syrena realm is not the happiest place under the sea and a fight is coming. Before all is said and done, there will be betrayal and, Triton's trident! lives will be lost leaving Emma and the others forever changed.
What left me wanting: Can I have Book 3 now? Pretty please with fish sticks on top?
Final verdict: I enjoyed this! Completely. Without thinking twice. ;)
Favorite quote(s):
"Poseidon's beard!"
"Triton's trident!"
"Completely. Without thinking twice."

Anna Banks doesn't waste a moment jumping right back into the action that was left interrupted at the brutal ending to Of Poseidon. Back with another witty tale, Anna Banks will take readers by storm with this excellent sequel to Of Poseidon.
From the first page, things are intense and action packed. Even as the book comes to a close, it doesn't let up at all. I read straight through this one in about two hours, my eyes glued to the page. There is such a good mix with this book - funny mixed with heart warming scenes mixed with some absolutely emotional scenes that made me a wreck. I was crying towards the end of the book.
The plot of Of Triton is epic! While I suspected a few pieces of the puzzle, most of it was a complete mystery until Anna Banks chose to share more details with readers.
I loved getting to know the characters of Of Poseidon a bit better. Galen and Emma are such an adorable couple, and I really like Rayna too. Rachel is one of those all around awesome characters - ex mafia lady who asks as a pseudo mother to Galen and Rayna when they are on land, how much cooler than you get!?
Readers won't be disappointed with Of Triton by Anna Banks. I loved it every bit as much as the first, and maybe even a little more. Of Triton dives deeper into the world of Syrena, landing Emma and the others in a struggle for the throne. Learning more about the syrena was awesome, as they are very unique of most mermaids. I really enjoyed Of Triton and I cannot wait to see what is next for Anna Banks.
