Of Neptune by Anna Banks

Was this book enjoyable? In parts. Was this book necessary?  Nope.  I could have been happy with the ending of the 2nd book in this trilogy.  I felt as if this third novel was just excessive and tried way too hard to be a mystery novel in a world of fantasy.  In addition to the lack of continuity with the other books in this series, the fact that most of the characters were not together throughout the book or even in the book at all (sad face for the total lack of Toraf and Rayna in this installment) made put on my crazy question face.  Like why?  Why not continue to develop the world you started?  Or the character relationships?  Why invent a whole new place?  I just didn't get it and didn't enjoy it at all.

Final Recommendations: if you like underwater fantasy that never even dips a toe in, if you like strange, nonsensical mystery, and you know mermaids and such
