Of Poseidon

This book went from hilariously intriguing to guilty pleasure to completely lacking in anything for me to care about. I finished it more out of my own issues with quitting a book once I'm more than half way than actually enjoying it. It wasn't the worst book I've ever read. It was just...okay.
I did enjoy the mermaid story. In a world full of vampires and werewolves (in novels of course I mean), it was kind of nice to see another mythic creature taking the lead. The only problem was, the mermaid world was...genuinely boring.
The characters were pretty well rounded and distinct to begin with, but they gradually dissolved into one-note characters as the romance progressed. All of the twists were predictable.
I would genuinely say, there are better things out there to read. Other bookish fish in the sea.

INCRÍIVEEEL!!
Sinceramente :D
Não é o melhor livro já escrito na face da terra, mas... AMEI! super DUPER divertido, sarcástico, envolvente e muito fofo.
E monogâmico, vamos frisar esse momento épico na historia da literatura infanto-juvenil/juvenil/romances que não deixa de presentearmos com um ZILHÃO de triângulos amorosos, levando todas as menininhas que leem acreditarem piamente que estão arrasando o coração da moçada, sendo que, na grande verdade, namorado que é bom está preso em páginas pólen dos livros.

Mesmo Emma sendo um pouco irritante as vezes, os clichês de sempre, e as muitas coisas óbvias - do tipo, “é claro que o espião E Nalia é a mãe”, achei o livro muito bom! E explicativo, repleto de lendas histórias e tudo o que o leitor tem direito.

Muito bom, sinceramente. Não marquei as páginas de passagens que gostei do liro, porque, gostei dele por inteiro.

I wouldn't say this is a bad book by any means. I guess it just lacked the oomph (sorry, but I think this word best describes what I'm looking for) I'm used to. I don't get many feels from this book. Maybe it's just because the book is so short. We, or at least I, didn't really get to bond with the characters all that much. When a certain someone was feeling sad, I just didn't feel my heart jerk. And all these characters the author keeps throwing out...well, they just don't have a very noticeable impact on me. It was sort of like, “Enter So-and-So's-Name,” which led to, “And then So-and-So cracked the Earth with his bare fist.” I'm not saying this happened, of course, and I'm not saying that things were as exaggerated as this example, but still, that was the kind of impression I got. I hope the next book will be better. Mind you, Miss Author, this does not mean I want a tragic ending where I end up crying and doubting the world and the entire human/mermaid (pardon to you Syrena) population.
