ARC Review: Of Poseidon
my thoughts in a few sentences: I’ve been reading a ton of mermaid books lately, but of them all Of Poseidon by Anna Banks was the one I was most worried about and the one that surprised me the most! I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did! But this book is, seriously, HILARIOUS. Banks has got an awesome sense of humor and quickly becomes apparent as soon as we start on Emma’s inner monologue. I was already engrossed because the humor is so inviting, real, and in tune with the book. And technically this book is NOT about mermaids. It’s about something way, way, way cooler, with mythology that is intriguingly spun through the plot to make it equal parts interesting and puzzling. And the romance! Of Poseidon by Anna Banks isn’t totally lighthearted, good underwater fun. The romances—yes, Anna gives us the benefit of two—are steamy with tension build-up, tangled up with misunderstandings, and has this pervading sweetness. Of Poseidon by Anna Banks is fun, smart, entertaining, but, more than that, fascinating.
hooking first line: "I smack into him as if shoved from behind."
