~ Series Review : The Syrena Legacy ~

Book Twenty nine, thirty, and thirty two : Of Poseidon, Of Triton, and Of Neptune by Anna Banks
The Syrena Legacy 


Galen is the prince of the Syrena, sent to land to find a girl he's heard can communicate with fish. Emma is on vacation at the beach. When she runs into Galen—literally, ouch!—both teens sense a connection. But it will take several encounters, including a deadly one with a shark, for Galen to be convinced of Emma's gifts. Now, if he can only convince Emma that she holds the key to his kingdom...

First, these are some of the most beautiful book covers.

Ok, moving on, I had seen Of Poseidon at my local bookstore but was not intrigued enough to spend twenty dollars for it. When I saw it on book outlet for around six dollars, I immediately ordered it. I found the story to be really easy to read. I enjoyed the "mermaid" aspect of it (I know they aren't really mermaids.) There was some dramatic plot twists but nothing too crazy. Of Poseidon did end with an intense cliff hanger. I was glad when Of Triton picked up right where Of Poseidon ended. These two books did flow really nicely. 

The Syrena Legacy is one of those unnecessary trilogies. I thought Of Triton ended so perfectly that I didn't need a third book. Of Neptune just did not flow like the first two books. I could not understand what the point of the book was. We all knew it how it was going to end. 

Despite that, I am glad that I read these books. I enjoyed the characters, especially the supporting characters like Toraf and Rayna. I only got frustrated with Emma in book three. I hated what the author was trying to do with introducing a love triangle. . . . . I'm so done with love triangles. 

 Overall I would highly recommend book one and two. I think all you need to read is book one, two and Emma's epilogue at the end of book three.
