Is the life she could have worth destroying the life she does have? Or can she have both? Not even the secret that she is bound to keep, and with less than 20 years left on her sentence, will it all be destroyed because of this? Now Kahlen has found the one thing she has always wanted. Once this human, Akinli, enters Kahlen’s world, nothing else seems to mean as much. Scrooge), you don’t know much about her for the most part, but she is a very important piece of Kahlen’s puzzle. Aside from Aisling being withdrawn and bitter (think Mr. Miaka is creative and she is also Kahlen’s first “little sister,” while Elizabeth is wild and crazy, and brings out the fun and slightly mischievous side of Kahlen.
Kahlen gets new “sisters,” Miaka and Elizabeth, who help transform her into something better than she ever imagined she could be. Kahlen decides she wants to make a difference and takes up sign language, which transforms into spending a few years at schools for the deaf teaching children, and later teenagers, that being deaf isn’t always a bad thing. The Ocean warns Kahlen that no matter what happens, those must stay daydreams and she cannot chance their secret by letting her fantasies run away with her. He is beautiful, sad, lonely, in pain, and yet there is something about him that Kahlen can’t let go. That is, until one day while sitting on the beach she meets a man. With only their “sisters” for company, it can become lonely, and for Kahlen that causes daydreams. Their sentence is 100 years, after which the Ocean will return them and they will become normal again, and begin aging from whatever age they are frozen into (almost sounds like a dream come true at times).
There can be no more than four sirens at a time, and not everyone will choose to live the lives that these girls have agreed to. They are beautiful, they can live around regular humans, they can live semi-normal lives, but there’s a catch - they cannot age, which means staying in one place for more than a few years isn’t possible, and they cannot, under any circumstances, speak, laugh, scream, or make a sound outside of a sigh or breath around a human person. Kahlen and her “sisters,” Marilyn and Aisling, begin the story and you find out quite a lot of how sirens and their lives work. In order to maintain herself, the Ocean must feed sirens help her to do that. A siren is a singer, a singer of the Ocean. The Siren is the story of Kahlen, mostly, along with her sisters and the Ocean. Recycling.After reading this story, it is taking everything in me to not totally gush it is that good. When someone else remembers some great story about me/us that I’ve forgotten. Not walking up but looking at a beautiful staircase. Spending an hour typing at a coffee shop. That my wedding dress was tea length, not floor. But she made a decision – and only waffled a little tiny bit! Yay for America!! In the end, the romantic side of this story still had just enough angst to keep it interesting, but not enough that I wanted to strangle the characters involved.īeing married. Could she have expressed that decision to both guys a bit earlier in the book? Well, yes. Let me start by saying that America did not magically turn into the strong and decisive character I really wanted her to be (see negatives below), but I was happy that she didn’t spend this entire book wondering if she should be with Aspen or Maxon ( thank you!!). But some unexpected things happened with the rebels, and we got to know them a bit more as well – I don’t want to spoil anything, but I will just say that the rebellion storyline started to get really interesting to me and I wasn’t ever sure how it was all going to end up! Honestly, often rebellion storylines bore me a bit, but this one didn’t at all – I was very invested in what was going to happen and how it would all play out. The rebels were still repeatedly attacking the palace and, as the book went on, they started to even attack the general population.

The rebellion was still in full swing when this book began. I think it made a huge difference to the story to truly see these girls and get to know them! We even got to see why each of them wanted to marry Maxon. We got to know who they really are and why they’d made the choices they made. We got to know all of the girls in the Elite A LOT better in this book.
