I was extremely captivated by the Syrena. I loved knowing about the Royals, learning their customs and ways of life. I enjoyed being introduced to sifting and mating rituals and learning about the two powerful houses: Poseidon and Triton. I liked that Anna Banks added some background story, giving enough information to make everything clear, but still keeping readers in the dark by hiding essential details that will be revealed in the future books to come.Danmarkhttp://raisingselfesteem.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2329593457481155810.post-71813565181578915642012-05-25T19:33:25.560-04:002012-05-25T19:33:25.560-04:00And I'd be right below you on the list!

People either love it or they don't.

He's a controlling stalker freak and so many reviewers are like MARRY ME I'm like WHY HE'S A FREAKING ASS!!! *barf*<br />ANyways, I did like some aspects of it but I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who wasn't that impressed.Gisellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16953187386418088952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2329593457481155810.post-91019411784602348902012-05-22T14:03:35.263-04:002012-05-22T14:03:35.263-04:00Oh no, I'm going to be reading this book soon....Oh no, I'm going to be reading this book soon.

Me too. I agree with Nicola there. I'm ...Aww... Me too. I agree with Nicola there. I'm kind of wary of this novel until Nick up there made a WoW post of how excited he is of the book and I was kind of pumped up. I guess insta love doesn't really works on everyone. Hoped I like it though when I have it. Either way, it's nice to see an honest review :)<br /><br />Fara @ <a href="http://tumblinginbooks.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tumbling In Books</a>Farahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06330464719072020218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2329593457481155810.post-2777035178093353762012-05-22T10:24:18.424-04:002012-05-22T10:24:18.424-04:00Uh oh. :/ Can't say I'm surprised though. ...Uh oh. :/ Can't say I'm surprised though. I'm pretty wary of this novel and now contemplating not even giving it a try even though I got an eARC too.
