Reading Response #2: Of Poseidon

Emma was fond of the Titanic and Galen took her there
on a date.

Giving the book another try, I came upon the fact that is had mystery swirled into it. Galen's brother Grom was suppose to mate with someone of the third generation (a Royal thing) but his beloved swam away from him and began to live on land (which is illegal).

Galen is trying to solve the mystery of how Emma is exactly half human and half Poseidon. At first, he doesn't find out the answer. He first tried to investigate her dad but that came crashing down. Then Galen and Toraf start sensing someone unknown to them. That someone was going to be their key to the unsolved danger.


                                    "Ms. McIntosh?" Mr. Pinner says. And if I remember correctly,
                                     Ms. McIntosh is me.
                                    "Uh, sorry?" I say.
                                   "The Titanic , Ms. McIntosh," he says on the verge of exasperation.
                                     "Have any idea when it sank?" (Page 40)


Emma feel in love with the Titanic and was obsessed with it for six months, so she knew the answer. Day by day Galen found out that she loved it and he took her on a date there.


Emma talks to fish and directs them.
They do not wear masks because they can breathe
underwater.

Reading Response #1: Of Poseidon

Without the bitter, sweetness would have no value.

So I will hate on it before I will love on it.

On this beautiful September morning I was reading the book , Of Poseidon, and realized how much I dislike romantic novels. They are cliché and all of them have mostly the same summary. I am reading this book in another English class so I have to read a gateway book and I noticed that 99% of them are about romance.

It's like chewing the same piece of gum all the time. Yuck.

Any who, Of Poseidon, is a different but the same book. While Galen is head over heels for Emma, he has to fake it to get her to his older brother because she is the last descendant of poseidon (hence the title). While taking her through the steps on teaching her about her unusual power he starts to fall in love.

And this is why I don't like romance novels. They all have the same plot and I can predict perfectly the conclusion.

It goes on with Emma fainting a lot and being extremely stubborn.

The rest of the porch is sucked into a black hole of my vision.

The welcome mat beneath me pitches like a rowboat during

a hurricane. I reach for the door or the wall or Galen, but

somehow I miss all three. Suddenly, my feet are swept out

from under me, and my face smacks into his chest.

for the second time in my life.

Emma is being super nice to Galen and tries to reject him when they both like each other but then she thinks that he is using her and that is the most classic plot of every love story. Then he has to leave to check up with his sea world connections and she gets extremely sad to not have him around all the time. She literally starts feeling bad. Girl, give him a break. You guys are obviously not going to be attached hip to hip all the time. And that is where I left off. I really do hope that it has a big plot twist so I could enjoy this book.

On the bright side the author is extremely descriptive and she is engaging in what she is writing in. Brownie points for that. The author also is really good at catching young, teenage girls in this net of romance that never happens in life, that is why it's on gateways book choice list. 

Classic scene of them holding hands.

But honestly this book isn't as bad as I am describing it, really. Give it a chance. Maybe you'll like reading about people turning into fish. Whatever floats your boat.
