Book Report: Siren’s Fury

IMG_1386

I’m not sure if you remember, but back in December Storm Siren put me into a heavy book hangover. Like my first major book hangover ever. I was super excited with the release of Siren’s Fury (which was like back in May, but with summer stuff and moving, I seriously just had time to finish reading!)

Thankfully, Siren’s Fury didn’t put me in as much of a hangover as book one. With book two, we are adjusted to the world and characters and just really want to find out how the whole Draewulf/Eogan thing is going to turn out (I’m not going to tell you, but the book ends with another “what the . . .” moment. So perfect).

From page one, you are sucked into the story—Mary Weber starts the book off with a bang and you can’t help but never put it down. Nym is just as much of kick-arse heroine as she was in book one. I love the fact that she’s not afraid to act on what she believes—even if it ends up getting her in crazy trouble.

I’m super excited to continue on Nym’s journey with book three—out next year!!

About the book (via Goodreads): 

“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 abhorring—the thing I trained so hard to control—no longer exists.”

Nym has saved Faelen only to discover that Draewulf stole everything she valued. Now he’s 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 Draewulf’s plan for her all along?

Meet the author:

Mary Weber is a ridiculously uncoordinated girl plotting to take over make-believe worlds through books, handstands, and imaginary throwing knives. In her spare time, she feeds unicorns, sings 80’s hairband songs to her three muggle children, and ogles her husband who looks strikingly like Wolverine. They live in California, which is perfect for stalking L.A. bands, Joss Whedon, and the ocean.

In our latest episode, we dive into the real struggles of transitioning from part-time to full-time writing. It’s not just about the words on the page; it’s about the daily habits and mindset shifts that lead to success.

We discuss the importance of keeping a writer’s log to track progress and hold ourselves accountable. It’s a game-changer! 

Writing is more than just a passion; it’s a commitment to our goals. And sometimes, that means adjusting expectations and embracing the unique path we’re on. 

What’s your biggest challenge in your writing journey? Let’s chat about it!

Do you really want to know which genre I write (the answer is, yes…) or what the book is about (it’s about people doing things and there’s probably kissing at some point) Also, it should be a crime to run out of coffee, and remind me again why we have to be on social media?

Is it just about getting published or making money? Or is there a deeper reason fueling your fire?

Drop a 🔥 if you’re still working on clarifying your why—trust us, it makes all the difference in staying motivated.

We’ve spent years chasing publication, but it wasn’t until we remembered our true purpose—creating stories that inspire and uplift—that our passions reignited. Knowing why we write helps us push through the frustrations and keep going, even when it’s hard (because, y’all—writing is hard).

Your why isn’t just a line in your bio; it’s the fire that keeps you writing through the setbacks and self-doubt. So, what’s yours? Share below, we want to hear it!

The Margins Writing Challenge May is such a busy The Margins Writing Challenge

May is such a busy month! But we don’t want to let our writing suffer. This is not a word count goal or a “time spent” goal this is just a challenge to fit writing in little pockets of time — 3 minutes while you’re waiting for water to boil, 10 minutes while you’re in the last of the school pick up lines, 5 minutes while you’re waiting to check out at the store. 

These little pockets of time, stolen to write, will help the words stack up. I hope you’ll join us this month! 

What: the Margins Writing Challenge 
When: May 1 - 31
Rule: write in the margins of your day and watch the words add up! 
RSVP: kidding there’s no RSVP — but we’d love to know if you’re joining so we can cheer you on! Let us know in the comments below!
