Sven was a fun character in Halcyon, particularly as it was incredibly obvious that he had a pretty major crush on Allie that was totally unrequited. Which meant that it was quite nice to read about his love story. Like Halcyon, this was a pretty simple and pleasant novel. One that I enjoyed but maybe wouldn’t read again.
It was fun to have a crime to solve alongside the romance. Especially since it was the lead detective on the case who ended up falling for one of the potential suspects. It gave a little more insight into the world of the Colony and the mix of humans and Titans. Sven might not have truly been a suspect, but the potential did leave a little more conflict to the beginning of the relationship. Plus, you know, it was fun to try and figure out who was running around trying to kill Titans.
Poseidon gives a little more information to understand the dynamics of Titans and humans. Particularly that of the merfolk. I love that a paranormal which I’ve not seen as overly scary in most books is almost the big boogie man of this world. One that half the population just doesn’t know about. It was kind of cool to think about how deadly such a population could be.
I’m kind of disappointed that this is the end of this series, but not overly so. I absolutely adored the world building and ideas behind this series. But I didn’t necessarily fall completely in love with the characters. Definitely a fun and light read, but not one that I will dive back into in the future.
