I completely agree with you on almost every point. I just finished 'Of Poseidon' and really enjoyed it. I was expecting it to try to be more mythology-based, but the final product was so much better without it being weighed down with too much of it. All in all, it was a fun, quick, quirky read that just made me feel warm and fuzzy- great book candy!

I haven't read it yet, but you know, despite all the negative I've heard about it, the positive I've heard about it still shines through and I'm really excited! Going to Anna Banks signing with a few other authors on the 6th...I'm pretty sure I'll buy it then and have her sign it! Thanks for the awesome review!

I think the cover is beautiful. I loved your honest review and it sounds like Of Poseidon has a lot going for it. I look forward to reading it.

I'm not really that into mermaids and syrens and all that stuff, but I don't know if it was the gorgeous cover or the originatily of it's plot, Of Poseidon made it to my wish it. But... I don't know... Lately I've been reading SO many mixed reviews about it. Some people absolutely hated it and others absoloutely loved it. I think you're the first person I see who actually named the ups and downs of the book. So thank you very much for that. I was almost giving up on reading Of Poseidon, but after reading your review, I'll definitely give it a chance; if not for the story at least for this Galen fellow :P

Awww. Sad to see you didn't really like this one :( I really enjoyed it though, I thought it was awesome!!! :DD

This book sounds really good. I haven't read all that any books about mermaids yet, but this is one of them that is on my last. Sorry to see that you didn't like it too much. Hopefully whenever I get my hands on it, I'll like it... but who knows right? :)

Commenting for the Mystery Box giveaway. I have wanted to read this book for months! Thank you for your thoughts.

Sounds like a very ordinary book... Haven't had the chance to read this... The cover looks great... Very fishy... =)

Thank you for the review!!!

I'm sorry you didn't like the book! Great review, it was very informative! :) Thank you so much for the honest review!

I was really excited about the originality of this story and am glad to hear that at least that was well done. The character of Emma sounds like a less than ideal heroine though, which is somewhat disappointing for me. Thanks for such an honest review!

Oh I thought it was good after I read the blurb on Goodreads. I fell for the cover but and thanks to your review, maybe I'll just borrow it instead of buying it! *miserly me*

Thanks for the review. I'm planning to read this book soon and I think I'll go in being more wary as to my expectations. I don't like multiple POV though (it's very hard to pull off well), nor do I like first POv that much, but if the writing is good and the main lead not too annoying, let's hope for the best haha

Thanks!

I did enjoy this book, better than most mermaid/syren/syrenka books. But there were still some issues with it. But I think they are more personal than anything else. I don't know what it is about me and underwater worlds and people in books. I am hoping that one day I might be able to find one that I actually love. I will definitely read the sequel, and maybe that will be the one. We will see!

Good to know the story isn't boring and is fresh.
