HOW DOES DIS NOT HAVE BAZILLIONS OF REVIEWS TELLING HOW AMAZING IT IS???? Okay, guys, I will tell you right here and now: this book is GORGEOUS. BEAUTIFUL. HEART-WRENCHING. TEAR-JERKING. SUSPENSEFUL. INTENSE. PAINFULLY, POETICALLY, REAL. A FANTASTIC STORY. Here's why. -The main character: Nym. AAAHHHH, NYMIA. She is probably the most heart-breaking female character I have EVER read about. Her story is tragic, scorching and roiling with pain, guilt, regret, remorse, hurt, all these emotions that no 17 year old should have hanging on their shoulders. The way Weber (who, might I just say, this is her DEBUT NOVEL...how in da heck is someone DIS GOOD in their debut novel!?!?) writes Nym's story and draws attention to all the horror of being an Elemental...it was moving. It was deep. It was emotional and real. -The thrills. Like, seriously, this book has so many tense moments throughout it, climaxing at the very end. The lulls NEVER last long, and Weber did a wonderful job of keeping the suspense level high and the reader interested. -The prose. GGGAAAHHHH THE PROSE IS SOO BEAUTIFUL!!! Weber's descriptions are flawless, captivating. Her word imagery is SUPERB and superior to anything else I've seen in this teen genre. And finally... -The emotions. The emotional conflict, the emotional turmoil, the emotional scenes. Especially the scenes. I will tell you, this is the first time I have literally SOBBED HEAVILY over a book. I'm not kidding guys. I've cried my eyes out in emotional scenes in movies, and I've even shed a few tears in other books. But in this book...at one scene, I was seriously bawling more and more as the scene progressed. No lie. Anyways, this all goes to say: READ THIS. IT IS A LITERARY CRIME TO NOT AT LEAST TRY. It is definitely one of my favorite books of ALL TIME; it is so amazing. No words I have can do it justice. It is absolutely without a doubt the best book I have read this year. Also, this is a trilogy (*leaps for joy*), and the next book comes out in a couple months from now I think...and I'M ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT SINCE THIS ENDS ON A CLIFFHANGER. Sitting tight for Siren's Fury...*waiting anxiously*
