“I thrust my hand toward the sky as my voice begs the Elemental inside me to waken and rise. But it’s no use. The curse I’ve spent my entire life abhorringβthe thing I trained so hard to controlβno longer exists.”
Nym has saved Faelen only to discover that Draewulf stole everything she valued. Now heβs destroyed her Elemental storm-summoning ability as well.
When Nym sneaks off with a host of delegates to Bron, Lord Myles offers her the chance for a new kind of power and the whispered hope that it may do more than simply defeat the monster she loathes. But the secrets the Bron people have kept concealed, along with the horrors Draewulf has developed, may require more than simply harnessing a darker ability.
They may require who she is.
Set against the stark metallic backdrop of the Bron kingdom, Nym is faced with the chance to change the future.
Or was that Draewulfβs plan for her all along?

The Good
- Guys, look at this cover! It follows the same design as the first book Storm Siren but instead of blue, it features red. This time we get a better look at our main heroine Nym’s face. Fantastic cover!!
- With the departure of some characters from the first book, we get introduced to new characters and some originals get majorly developed. With the events at the end of the first book, Nym’s life is thrown into an upheaval. She is broken, lost, and angry. She will do anything to overcome her difficulties with her powers, and the big bad wolf. Major character growth.
- The writing and plot remained equally as interesting and well done as Storm Siren especially with the direction the plot took.
- And the world building increased as we got to travel to new lands and meet new and exciting people. We got more back story and the power system is built upon and explained more as well.
The Bad
- The romance took a backseat in Siren’s Fury which was a little disappointing. I was really looking forward to a romance building but with the events that occur during the book I understand why it couldn’t happen.
Overall this was a fantastic sequel and I’m looking forward to what happens in the finale! Ok, that’s it. Let me know what you guys thought of Siren’s Fury by Mary Weber! I would love to hear your opinions as well!
Until next time,
The cover is stunning. I like the sound of this book, good review! I’m not a major lover of romance (in novels) so it might appeal to me more π

That’s good! Yeah this series isn’t heavy on the romance much at all. But this one, due to the circumstances of the plot, barely has any. π

I wouldn’t like the absence of the romance either. Although, it sounds like you enjoyed the book anyways. Great review.

Oh yes! The fantastical elements and plot driven story made up for the lack of romance. It wasn’t that missed π

I was actually surprised by the romantic moments we were treated to. I had a feeling that with the events of the first book the romance would take a back seat so I was surprised that we still had some swoon worthy moments haha. I loved getting to explore Bron and it’s cultural and political landscape and I think Siren’s Fury did a good job of setting the scene for the final book. π

I agree with all of that! Except I wasn’t thinking that Draewulf would have taken over Eogan’s body T___T
