review 1: What an interesting story! I had a lot of fun reading this, the way the world was written felt very real! I could close my eyes and easily imagine myself there. And the characters? Goodness, they all felt like real people! The character development is actually my most favorite part of the story! They were really interesting to read about, and I wanted to learn more about them!The plot's also well written, and spooky! the events leading up to the plot were a little slow moving though, (a quick warning those who like their stories fast paced!~) The story began to interest me (plot wise) on chapter seven, page 103. The plot itself started to unravel on page 143. And finally on pages 210 and 211, we get the answers on what the plot is about, mermaids! YAY! Even though on page ... more53, the answer was already very clear - Asia is a mermaid. (I needn't to give a spoiler there.) The story itself has 260 happy pages. It was a teeeeeeeeeny bit frustrating to read almost 160 pages when you already know who Asia is and everyone else doesn't, but I think that's ONLY because the characters are like, "Who is Asia??" "What is she?" and I'm screaming at the book like, "I KNOW! I KNOW! I KNOW!" hoping they'll hear me! ...But I guess I keep forgetting that I am talking to fictional characters, and they aren't as real as I think they are!!!Like I said, Siren's storm is a REALLY great book with very realistic feeling characters! If you like nice character development, this book surely has it. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series - I can't wait to see what'll happen after that freaky ending!
review 2: This was an okay take on the mermaid tale. It took me quite some time to get into the story, and I'm sure it was supposed to be a darker look at mermaids. However, even though this was the first in a series, I felt like I was coming into it in the middle, or as a second book, not the first. I won't be purchasing the rest of this series, and if any of my students are interested, I'll recommend they go to the public library. I'm sure some will enjoy the story, but it was a bit too winding for me and I never really got into the 2 main characters. I would recommend Forgive My Fins for a fun mermaid book - but then again I don't think the author wanted this to be a light fun tale. less
