Nym shouldn’t exist. Elementals, able to manipulate weather, are always born male and always killed at birth, but Nym is a 17-year-old female Elemental. When she is exposed as such at the slave auction, a court emissary sees her as a powerful weapon in the ongoing war and purchases her. While Nym is training to hone her abilities, time is running out for the kingdom. Nym may be all that stands between her country and destruction, but she must learn trust and control amid a growing number of difficult challenges before she will be able to save anything and even then it may not be enough.
My husband and I listened to this one on Libby, and we both enjoyed it. I like that the main character exhibits personal growth and gains some self-confidence throughout the course of the book. My husband really liked the magic system and how different abilities played into the story. This is a good book for those interested in young adult fantasy or dystopia genres. I especially think those that liked Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard will enjoy Storm Siren.
