Emma's (Of Poseidon) discovery that her mother, Nalia, is a Syrena (mermaid) and princess of Poseidon leads to adventures on land and sea as Nalia reunites with a long-lost love and Emma struggles with her status as Half-Breed. Banks's fantasy world is creatively imagined, but when Emma's powers are effortlessly revealed and she's rewarded in both worlds, the triumphal ending feels shallow.
