Of Poseidon by Anna Banks is a YA fantasy novel which tells the story of Emma McIntosh who after a tragic incident at a beach meets Galan Forza, one of the Syrena, or merfolk, who believes Emma may be a Syrena of the line of Poseidon, putting her in a position to end wars between the merfolk. Emma, on the other hand, knows nothing of her heritage. I did enjoy Of Poseidon, and will very likely read the sequels at some point. However, I wouldn’t say the book was fantastic or a must-read. What I liked Fun protagonist. I really liked the way Emma was written. She is fun, sparky and realistic. I enjoyed her interactions with Galen and the rest of his entourage. I was disappointed we didn’t get to see more of her friendship with Chloe – that would have been fun to read about. I felt the tragedy gave Emma more depth than she might have otherwise had. Interesting subplots. There are several subplots woven throughout the story and they were well done – it was also great the way they were woven into the main plot in the end reveal. The worldbuilding. I enjoyed…
