Excerpt
The barn burst into flames, the Septori burst into flames, and Talbot screamed as he beat at his clothes to stop the fire. The fire shot across the beams of the barn.
The Septori in a panic, tried to drag me out of the barn.
The shriek of a horse made me glance to Faraway, and I saw him outside of the barn screaming in terror.
He was going to try and run in to save me. With a wave of power, I slammed the barn door closed on him, keeping him out. I was going to end this once and for all. I had a glimpse of what I was becoming and I didn’t like it.
“Burn,” I whispered and watched as the flames licked higher. Energy flowed through my body, and I could hear something just beyond my consciousness. Like a sigh being released. My body became warm, tingling. And then more pain.
“Her eyes. Look at her eyes!” One of my captors backed away from me and ran out the side door.
“Don’t look at her, just grab her!” Talbot screamed.
I felt more hands grasp me and I hated it. I hated them. Looking up along the beams of the barn, I saw the main support beam.
It was time to end this for everyone. I gave in to the pain and anger, reached for a smaller support beam, and pulled at it. Half of the burning roof came down on a large group of the Septori. They screamed and tried to cover their heads as it fell. Too late.
“Stop her! She’s going to kill us all,” Talbot cried waving his hands at me.
I smirked. I was.
Featured Review
This was a fantastic ending to a great series. I discovered the Iron Butterfly series a few months ago and read through the first two books in a day!! I am not one to reread books but I have done just that about 3 times now while waiting for The Silver Siren to be released. The series was a gem to find especially with modern day fantasy/adventure books. It has great, strong characters (both female and male). It has a wonderfully in depth plot where at times you think you know what's going to happen and then it goes in a completely different direction. And on top of all the action, magic, and adventure you get a great love story that isn't trashy but believable.
As for The Silver Siren book in particular - I loved it! Many questions were answered from the previous two books, the love triangle came to a resolution relatively early and that allowed for the action and plot line to come to a satisfying resolution. Overall very well done! Thank you Chanda Hahn for a brilliant series that I'm sure I will read over and over again... and if you decide to write more books to add to the series I sure won't complain :)
