However, when they find Neptune and realize they both have radically differing opinions on the small town, it just drags them further apart.Įmma and Galen are both extreme in their personalities–Emma is super trusting and so ridiculously naive that sometimes you just want to slap her, and Galen is super overprotective and sometimes channels Edward Cullen. Emma and Galen seem like they keep trying to force their relationship to be something it’s not, and by going on a road trip it seemed like they were trying to get everything back on track.
Their love story, along with much of the plot of this book, seemed contrived. I felt like I had little interest in their love story anymore because there didn’t really even seem to be one. The romance between Emma and Galen seemed to die after the first book. I was hoping that it would revive the trilogy for me, but unfortunately it was more like the second book than the first.
However, because I feel compelled to always finish a series (the exception being Lauren Kate’s Fallen series, ugh), I decided that I had to read Of Neptune. The second book fell pretty flat in my opinion and I nearly gave up on the series after that. The first book in this series was really good–it was one of the first mermaid YA books I’ve read and it seemed really original and had a great plot. Emma begins to realize that she may have another choice for her future and when a Half-Breed named Reed begins to pay her extra attention, Galen is worried that Emma may decide to stay in Neptune forever. In Neptune, Syrena live in harmony with humans and Half-Breeds. Emma’s grandfather pushes them in the direction of a small town called Neptune, which turns out to be something completely unexpected.
Emma and Galen have decided to get some much needed alone time by taking a road trip.
