I will say though that if you do plan to read Storm Siren soon, make sure you have Siren’s Fury as well. I’m glad I was able to read these back to back but I can’t wait to see how everything plays out in The Siren’s Song, which comes out March 2016 (!!). Obviously I can’t elaborate but be prepared for a couple jaw dropping moments.īoth Storm Siren and Siren’s Fury ended on notes that had me clamoring to know what’s next.
I have to say, the author definitely surprised me more than once and I love when I don’t see things coming. Nym needed someone who could be just a friend and of course, there had to be a romance. There was such an obvious opportunity for a love triangle but the author doesn’t go that route. (Can you tell I loved him?) I mean really I loved both characters. Oh Eogan, the mysterious, brooding trainer. The way she evolves throughout both books is startling but necessary and very much deserved.Ĭolin is a fellow Uathil from a different kingdom and is being trained with Nym by Eogan. So whenever she made any bit of progress, you just felt the joy of that success along with her. From the moment we meet her, she sees herself as someone who only brings death and destruction to others so you can only imagine what her self-esteem is like.
Nym’s journey to control and accept her powers is one of my favorite parts of the book. There was a lot of detail and world-building that went into the mythology which I very much appreciated. It was also interesting to learn about the different abilities and how each kingdom had different names and treatment for Uathils (Elementals). The abilities were just on a much grander scale and affected the fate of this war. This was my first time reading elemental fantasy and let me just say, I am a big, big fan of this pairing. I’ve only read two other elemental series before but both had a contemporary setting. Not to mention the handsome trainer whose dark secrets lie behind a mysterious ability to calm every lightning strike she summons.īut what if she doesn’t want to be the weapon they’ve all been waiting for?
But when her hood is removed & her storm-summoning killing curse revealed, Nym is snatched up by a court advisor & given a choice: be trained as the weapon Faelen needs to win the war, or be killed.Ĭhoosing the former, Nym is unleashed into a world of politics, bizarre parties, & rumors of an evil more sinister than she’s being prepared to fight. Standing on the auction block beneath smoke-drenched mountains, Nym faces her 15th sell. Summary: As a slave in the war-weary kingdom of Faelen, 17-year-old Nym isn’t merely devoid of rights, her Elemental kind are only born male & always killed at birth - meaning, she shouldn’t even exist.
