Emma and Galen’s kingdom and their love is threatened by long-lost Syrena in the brilliant conclusion to Anna Banks bestselling trilogy.
Emma, half human and half Syrena, and her Syrena love, Galen, need time together alone. Away from the kingdoms of Poseidon and Triton. Emma’s grandfather, the Poseidon king, suggests the two visit a small town called Neptune.
Neptune is home to both Syrena and Half-Breeds alike. But Emma and Galen didn’t sign up to be peacemakers between the ocean and the land-dwelling, freshwater Syrena. They didn’t bargain for meeting a charming Half-Breed named Reed, who can barely disguise his feelings for Emma. And they especially didn’t expect to find themselves in the middle of a power struggle that threatens not only their love but their ocean kingdoms.
In this stunning conclusion to her bestselling Syrena Legacy, Anna Banks thrills fans with more action and romance than ever. -Summary from Goodreads
Sarah’s Review
Ohmyfreakingosh! Another end to a
great series is here and, while I can’t say it was my favorite of the series,
ohmysweetness it was delightful!
One
of the things I love most about this series is it’s quirkiness in both the
language and the characters. While there is some serious action and subjects covered
the author was still able to keep the lightheartedness that was in her previous
two books. Something that I also loved was how Emma and Galen wanted to stay
true to their plan of waiting until they were mated to do any of the real fun
stuff. You don’t see that in most books and I love that the author put it in.
The
book pulled me in right at the beginning when the Poseidon King tells Emma
about a mysterious town called Neptune that she should check out but doesn’t
tell her why. I felt it lost some steam, however, in the middle. Many of the
side characters I loved from the previous books weren’t there and the two main
characters seem to spend a lot of time apart. I missed a lot of the bickering that
was ever present in the earlier books and Emma telling Galen where he could go
stick his fin. The new guy Reed was cool half the time but other times he
appeared almost stalkery. Although I blame that on him being a Syrena
(half-breed) male who just needs someone like Emma to give him a whack on the
head every now and then.
Despite
all that the last quarter of the book makes up for most of that. It’s a great
ending and the epilogue is so sweet it’s like eating candy!
Christina’s Review
Many people were surprised when they
heard there was going to be a 3rd book because it seemed like everything
was tied up at the end of the 2nd one, but overall I am happy that
this book ended the series. At first I wasn’t so sure, I was having trouble
getting into the book and was skeptical, but eventually it pulled me in despite
my less than enthusiastic attitude.
This
book had plenty of drama ana made you question what the truth is and who is on which side. It also includes a love triangle, which I was a bit annoyed
with, but it wasn’t that bad.
One
of the best things about this series is how I’ll be reading it and everything
is normal and then one of the characters will say something so strange it will
make me laugh. Emma is such a fun character who can make any reader laugh and
is so awkward it’s relatable. This was far from my favorite book in the series, but it was the perfect end to the series.
