When her mother's reappearance in the Syrena world turns the two kingdoms, Poseidon and Triton, against one another, Emma must risk everything she loves and reveal herself and her Gift to save a people she's never known. Book #2
Admittedly, I stacked the deck against this book but then it turned out not to be terrible. Galen's third person present pov was still awkward. And there was a whole lot of book that could have been streamlined - just like in the first book - making this a much more interesting story overall by combining them into one book. There were considerable chunks where nothing was happening with Emma that were obliviously just there to fulfill the split pov.
But I kind of like the characters. Not Galen when he's being clueless, obviously, but he's cute when he's being sweet and sincere. And Emma was a little bit if a bad ass and wasn't actually annoying at any point.
I didn't like the way it ended on such a down note. That sucked. And I'm not sure why there's a third book since everything wrapped up quite nicely (except for the sour note) but I'll probably read it too since there's nothing to despise about this book even if there's also nothing to love. It's truly an ok read, even mildly entertaining enough to be a good beach read.
