Blog Tour- Of Triton by Anna Banks and a Giveaway!



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?

  31. Oh my god! Such a good book! Is there a third?

    ReplyDelete
  32. What 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!!
