Hey y’all! I’m super excited to have this post today! I loved Anna
Banks OF POSEIDON and the sequel OF TRITON is just as awesome!!! Two of my
favorite characters in the books are Galen’s best friend, Toraf and Rayna,
Galen’s little sister. Why do I love these characters so much you ask? Well
they’re bond mates and they are hilarious I mean they bring the comic relief to
the books and they bicker like an old married couple. And they’re just
teenagers LOL
Ok so on to the awesome part! I got to interview them!!!! So look
below for their LOL answers and make sure to enter the giveaway for a paperback
of OF POSEIDON and a hardcover of OF TRITON and an OF POSEIDON book mark!!(US
and Canada only)
Hi Anna, Toraf,
and Rayna!
Thanks so much
for answering some questions for the Of Triton blog tour!
Anna: Thanks
times infinity for having us today. Toraf and I are so grateful to be here, and
Rayna has even promised to be tolerable.
Which is a HUGE compliment.
Ok so here are the questions.
So when did you
two know that you were “the one” for each other?
TORAF:
When? I don’t know. When I was born? I mean, it’s not something that just hit
me one day. I always knew it would be me and her.
RAYNA:
*shrugs* When Grom had us sealed, I guess. Not a lot you can do after that.
TORAF:
Aw, princess, that hurts my feelings.
RAYNA:
Better your feelings than your nose, right?
Rayna what is
your fascination of the surface? Would you rather live there instead of the
water?
RAYNA:
It’s just that humans are so strange. They have so much stuff, more stuff than
they ever could truly cherish. They have different clothes for the daytime and
the nighttime. The females match their face and fingernail paint to their
clothes. They have about a million gadgets you can use to cook a fish. They’re
obsessed with spying on other humans through the fat screens in their living
rooms. And apparently they have horrible memories, since they take pictures of
EVERYTHING.
You’re
all just so entertaining and silly. Who wouldn’t want to live on land and watch
you?
Ha thanks I
guess.
Toraf you have
some mad tracking skills. Do you ever wish you didn’t have all that
responsibility so you could spend more time with Rayna?
TORAF:
I always want to spend more time with Rayna, but I usually need my Tracking abilities in order to find her first. She plays
this adorable game where she tries to hide from me, don’t you princess?
Hides? I’d never
hide from you Toraf *makes dreamy eyes*
What do you two
think of Galen and Emma together?
RAYNA:
*rolls eyes* I think Galen is a complete hypocrite. Growing up, he used to
tease me endlessly about loving human things, and then he hauls off and falls
in love with one of them! I mean, she is
a Half-Breed, I know, but she’s more human than anything else. She doesn’t even
have a fin! And sometimes they act like we’re not even there, which is rude.
TORAF:
I’m just glad Galen came to his senses. I thought he was going to go mad,
trying to hide his feelings for her like that. Poor minnow. Of course, their
relationship could never be as passionate as mine and Rayna’s—OUCH! What did I
say, princess?
LOL Behave Rayna!
What’s coming up
next for the two of you can we have any hints about book 3?
RAYNA:
Let’s just say King Antonis has more secrets than the beach has sand. And I get
to hit people.
TORAF:
And I am practically useless.
Useless? Never!
What is your
favorite thing about the surface? Favorite Food? Music?
RAYNA:
I like sleeping in a bed. It’s so soft, like floating on thick water. My
favorite food is those sweet cookie things Rachel makes with the Nimy Nims in
them. Music? What, that noise you guys make? *snorts*
TORAF:
Uh, I like the bed too—OW! Sorry, princess.
Hahahahaha ok
you two I think we should stop before Rayna does some serious damage to Toraf’s
arm ;)
Thanks again for
taking the time to answer my questions!!
In this sequel to OF POSEIDON, Emma has just learned that her mother is a long-lost Poseidon princess, and now struggles with an identity crisis: As a Half-Breed, she’s a freak in the human world and an abomination in the Syrena realm below. Syrena law states that all Half- Breeds should be put to death.
As if that’s not bad enough, her mother’s reappearance among the Syrena turns the two kingdoms—Poseidon and Triton—against one another. Which leaves Emma with a decision to make: Should she comply with Galen’s request to keep herself safe and just hope for the best? Or should she risk it all and reveal herself—and her Gift—to save a people she’s never known?
Make sure to check out some cool stuff!

ReplyDeleteOh my god! Such a good book! Is there a third?
ReplyDeleteThere is going to be a third :)
DeleteWhat a great sequel. What I love most about this series is the writers ability to make such a interesting story line. It doesn't take long to get pulled into the plot. Also everything makes sense even when she is switching between different character points of view. I really hope there's another book on the way because the ending was so open ended!!
