There are multiple mysteries to uncover, an antagonist who will carry over to the second book, magical abilities passed down from the Greek gods Poseidon and Triton. Who knew even fish want to go PC these days. The innuendos are full of fish humor, which is awesome since the book is all about mermaids (who hate being called that-Syrena is their preference).

This is a coming of age tale for discovery, mystery, magic, and lust. The characters are not reintroduced so it's clearly intended to be read as a second book. The narrator and author do a wonderful job. I loved both books and you will enjoy the second book thoroughly if you like this one. I listened to these out of order and was extremely confused during a good chunk of listening to Of Triton (book 2). I'm annoyed that audible doesn't clearly mark books in a series. Legacy Lost (The Syrena Legacy, #0.5) could also be considered book 1 but is not available in audio yet. Coming soon is Of Neptune (book 3 not available in audio yet). Thankfully it wasn't so annoying as to take away from my enjoyment of the book. Secondly, It was also difficult to tell when there was a break in the story. First was that It was difficult to tell when the book was switching between Emma's and Galen's point of view. I also really liked all of the secondary characters, especially Galen's 'family.' I had two slight complaints with the book, but I think the fact that I listened to the audio version is mostly to blame for both of them. I sometimes felt that Emma was being overly dramatic (the opening scene for example), but she was sweet and I did like her. Galen was hot (of course) and funny and sweet, and Emma had a hard time resisting him. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Galen and Emma.

I did figure out the big 'surprise' about halfway through the story, so it wasn't especially suspenseful. However, it is the start of a series so I'm sure we'll get more in depth in the following books. I really enjoyed the idea of the Syrena ('They're NOT MERMAIDS!!' lol) and wish that we would have learned more about them in this book. She did a really great job capturing her personality.

Which character – as performed by Rebecca Gibel – was your favorite?Įmma. Also, they both are full of Greek mythology. What other book might you compare Of Poseidon to and why? If I could go back, I think I would probably buy the print edition.

Would you consider the audio edition of Of Poseidon to be better than the print version?
