Storm Siren
by Mary Weber
THIS REVIEW AND MORE CAN BE FOUND AT THE BOOK BRATZ!
I wasn't sure what to expect of Storm Siren when I first had it in my hands. It was one of those stories that could be really good, or really bad. In this case. It was very good! Though complex at times Storm Siren leaves your heart pounding on a thrill ride of action and emotion.
I loved Nym. She is stubborn, strong willed, and sarcastic all wrapped into one. Her back story breaks your heart, and shows how she had struggled through the early years of her life. I just wish Nym didn't let people walk all over her. As a slave she has had fourteen owners, and her fifteenth owner, Adora, the latest only sees her as a weapon to stop a war. There were so many times when Adora would say or do something to Nym, that I wished she would have stuck up for herself. Plus, Adora was so set on getting Nym to stay away from Eogan, like it was getting annoying. Eogan is where I get a lot of mixed feelings. There were a lot of things unclear about him, he had three women after him, and he had to train Nym. I felt like there could have been something more between him and Nym if he just opened up. He was hot and cold.
Mary Weber did a beautiful job describing and pulling her readers in the Storm Siren world. I enjoy a book much better when I can picture it clearly and this book is just that. It was easy to see and understand what was going on, what people looked like! I loved it.
The plot was interesting. Between the magic and the war a lot of information is giving to you, and though complex it wasn't confusing as it sometimes could be. Though I wasn't sure about the romance, it wasn't an insta-love thing, it was gradual and sweet. Storm Siren wasn't predictable and managed to surprise me more then one time. The ending of the book is crazy, so much action and important things are revealed. Not everyone is who they seem to be.
Mary Weber also has the fine art of writing agonizing cliffhangers that make me want to cry because the next book in the Storm Siren Series seems so far away! She has a great knack for story telling and I am very excited to see where this series is going to go!
