  LOVED, LOVED, LOVED, LOVED IT!!!! So amazing! I cannot wait to reads what happens next. I really Hope that Chanda can crank out the next book. I almost don't want to read anything else until it comes out.

  I want to read this book so much!! This is my ultimate favourite series and i can't wait for this one. Keep writing Chanda! It says it will come out in 2013.....but when?
  (4th June 2014)
  Literally just finished reading this a few minutes ago and all i can say is OMFG! If you've read the first few, you need to get yourself this book pronto because in no way does it disappoint. Chanda Hahn finished off this awesome series with explosive action, kick ass magic, fantstic twists and, of course, the dashes of romance we all secretly love. Some parts of this book were definitely unexpected and i loved it all! I swear i didn't put my kindle down since i started reading this book and i'd happily start all over again.
  I'll probably write a full review later but, due to the fact that i just finished the book and am still reeling from its awesomeness, i'm afraid i might give to much away in my excitement. So, for now, trust me, if you're a fan of the previous two, get this now and you won't regret it. Personally, im now torn between the Throne of Glass series and The Iron Butterfly series as to which is my favourite. Hmmmm....

  When I finished The Steele Wolf and found out there was going to be another book coming out soon I couldn't contain my excitement. As I didn't have anything to read whilst I was waiting and I enjoyed The Iron Butterfly so much I decided to read Chanda's other series (An Unfortunate Fairy Tail- also AMAZING).
  Now i have read The Steele Wolf twice and re-read my favourite parts millions of times (I ended up getting excited all over again xD)and it's still not out :(
  I can't wait to find out what adventures Thalia will go through this time and what other powers she will uncover.
  However my main excitement is based on what will happen between Thalia, Kael and Joss (I am totally and Whole-heartedly on Team Kael btw).
  Chanda said it would come out winter 2013 and it's almost Christams now...
  So please hurry Chanda, you're killing me!!!!!
  
  
  It's official, The Silver Siren is coming out 27th of May!!! I am too excited for words to express, but I can tell you my reaction for when I found out the release date: I literally squeeled and ran around my whole house telling everyone I passed about the fantastic news. Then I sat back down and squeeled some more. After that I realised how long I still had to wait and started groaning. That's my reaction in a nut shell. Can't wait for it to come out!!! *squeels!!*
  
  
  Ok, I know I read this ages ago (literally like the day it came out) so my review is a little late. But better late then never, right?
  This review will probably just be me fangirling just to let you know.
  Let me just start of by saying this book is ah-may-zing! (I do know that's spelt wrong by the way!)
  I loved reading it and I finished it waaay too quickly.
  And, good news: MORE KAEL MOMENTS!! Much, much more! Yeeeeey!!!!
  We learn so much in this book, everything is revealed and we finally understand! We get to meet lots of new characters too.
  This book was slightly different to the other two (at least in my eyes) but I loved it.
  I cant even express my love for this book and it was too good to put into words so I just say go and read it. And love it. Then read it again like I'm about to go and do.
  READ IT!!

  Cant wait for it already got dragged in head first, by the first two books. What other suspense will happen next? action? Or other powers will Thalia reveal? What will she do next? with both Joss an Kael around?hurry up please all the other books are saying "read me!" but they all look boring! But this is so going to be on my Christmas list!!!

  There's no release date...I'm having an existential crisis waiting for this book.
  I'm most likely going to get some major anger directed at me for this but //puts on battle armor// I despised Joss in the second book. I liked him in the first -don't get me wrong- but honestly in the sequel he seemed too pushy and protective as if Thalia couldn't take care of herself. I loved Kael the moment he was introduced in the Septori prison. I feel as though Kael knows and treats Thalia like how she is -a strong girl who doesn't need to be shielded from the world.
  I can't wait until The Silver Siren.

  “Thalia, I’m not even going to pretend to understand you young ones, because I don’t. But all I have to say is that letting a young man beat you to a pulp is no way to let him know you like him.” - Note, this was after a training session, not actually physical abuse.
  “I think you are mistaken.”
  Fanny raised one eyebrow. “Am I now? Well I guess you can’t believe the observations of an old woman like me. I mean, it’s not like I was ever a young girl who held the admirations of a few gentlemen either.”
  “No, that’s not what I mean,” I tried to apologize.
  “Thalia, you have to be careful and pick one. Otherwise you could end up hurting both of them.”
  
  Pretty much sums up how I feel about YA in general. Also, you know you are getting old when you can relate to the adult characters rather than the main characters.

  What a fun series! I really enjoyed this last book and how everything came together. Thalia faces a lot of new challenges, but consistently stays true to herself and wanting to do the right thing. She never lets her circumstances turn her into something bad. It's a constant struggle, but she stays strong. We did a lot of traveling in this one, we get to visit a lot of different places and meet a lot of new characters. It was a tad overwhelming, but I liked it. Love triangles always drive me nuts, but I liked how things played out. Well, for the most part I would have liked a happier ending for Joss. Maybe he can get a spin-off series? That'd be fun, I wouldn't mind returning to this world someday. I liked Kael a lot in this one, we get a lot more background on him and also get to see a softer side. Which I liked. I was surprised by some things and it kept me on my toes. Which is why I decided to give this one five stars, it was hard to put down and overall just a fun escape. If you enjoy High Fantasy give this series a try!

  I'm choosing to think that it just needs a good editor. You know, to help with the pacing, the abrupt changes, the characterisation, the logic, the spelling, the tired fantasy tropes....

  “It sounded off pitch and grated on my nerves. “What is that sound?” I asked. Alek covered his mouth with his hand. “Do you see what I mean? He’s humming–my brother is humming.” He tried to hide his smile.
  I couldn’t help the surprised look that covered my shocked face. Kael did not have a singer’s voice. The humming was terribly off-key. “That sounds like cat’s howling in pain. It’s disturbing,” I whispered. The noise from inside stopped. “Exactly!” Alek said. “He never hummed before he left.” Kael pushed the white curtain aside and spoke up as he stepped out onto the porch fully dressed, “I do not sound like a cat in pain. Dog, maybe. Cat no.”

  
  
  It took me almost one month to finish this book, which to me, apparently says a lot since I typically finish books in just one day or less. I'm not really saying this was a terrible read though, but for some reasons, I had a really challenging time getting through with it.
  
  One reason, perhaps, why I had so little motivation in picking this book back up was because I had almost completely lost interest in the series. It's been quite a while since I finished the first two books, and although they were amazing enough for me to give them 4 and 5 stars, the names of most characters and places didn't really ring a bell anymore. Yeah so sadly, I went through this book lost and a bit reluctant to continue.
  
  The writing style started to bother me, as well. Some of the emotions felt forced, and often times I felt it difficult to sympathize with the characters. The main character, Thalia's indecisiveness was also irksome on occasions but thankfully, her sass and humor was never lost.
  
  
  “You know there is such a thing as a door," I whispered. "You should try it some time.”
  
  “I had accidentally eaten most of my day’s rations out of boredom."
  
  
  In general, I'm giving The Silver Siren 3 out of 5 stars, since I'm lost somewhere between liking and hating this book. I'm still conflicted about how I feel about it, but overall I'm satisfied with the ending and with this as a series conclusion.

  miss hahn realizing that poorly written banter and a bad love triangle doesn’t count as a story,, also girl how do you introduce like 75 percent of the plot within this book in order to explain all of the throwaway clues and plot holes in the other books and then just create more plot holes for yourself??? and how are you so unoriginal that you name the almost extinct magical species your main protagonist is secretly part of the same exact thing in two entirely different series????? did nobody proof read this?????? points for faraway’s ending tho loved him

  Lo sapevo, io!!!!!!
  
  Maybe it was all a bit too much, but I enjoyed it a lot!
  I wanted more wolf and the archangel thing was really too much, and also the sirens, but I enjoyed the reading and I loved them all. I am really happy to have known them and to have read this story.

  Great way to wrap up the story. I felt the epilogue was a little hurried though and told as an afterthought, not given the weight and gravity of the rest of the book. Overall though, fantastic!

  This book was epic. Chanda did an amazing job ending this series. She answered so many questions that lingered with the last two books. Thalia is a fierce! Kael what can I say, he is the perfect match for her. I loved watching their relationship grow throughout the stories. I really enjoyed this series and would love to see Chanda do a spin-off.

  This series was hard to put down and this book wrapped it all up perfectly. I loved everything about it. Thalia is a great heroine and I am happy to see how she has progressed. Great job on another wonderful series

  This was interesting. A few unexpected twists, but the end was expected and that ruined it for me :-(

  I was pretty disappointed with this book (the last in a trilogy). The first book (Iron Butterfly) was really good. The second was okay, but this one just didn't measure up. Grammatical errors were everywhere and the tense was constantly changing which made it hard to follow sometimes. The main character, Thalia, was a lot more childish and wishy-washy. She wasn't the same heroine that was in the first book. The love triangle was a bit elementary and one of the characters, Joss, seemed to have been forced by the author to act a certain way in order to force Thalia's decision. I still love Kael's character, but he disappears about halfway through the book and even though he comes back at the end, you never really find out what all happened to him. The story seemed to flow fine at first, but then it just starts going all over the place and it seems like your reading a completely different book. That being said, I was satisfied with the ending and felt as though most of the questions were answered even if it was in a convoluted way. My one big question that never really got answered is: Was this supposed to be a futuristic America/Earth or was it fictional land? Some cataclysmic event had happened, but you never really find out what it was exactly.

  This story was amazing! It took a little while to get into the rhythm of the book and to get over the numerous spelling/editing mistakes, but once I got into it, I couldn't let it go. This book because a drug to me, I had to know what happened next. I abandoned all my social obligations just to I could finish this series. Yes, I finished the series (3 books) in two days. (This is a new record for me!)
  
  If you like Chanda Hahn's other series: An UnEnchanted Fairy Tale Series, you'll love this series as well. If you like Hollowland by Amanda Hocking, you'll more than likely enjoy this book. Thalia is a headstrong, "I'm going to do this for myself" kind of girl that forges her own path through life in an attempt to find out what has happened to her.
  
  This series will keep you guessing, shock you and delight you many, many times as you read it. I gave it 5 stars because the story is amazing, I found it so relatable and I will most definitely read this book again and again and again. However, it does have numerous mistakes throughout all three books, I was a little disappointed in that, but couldn't bring myself to knock it down a star because I felt the story was so amazing.

  AMAZING!!!
  I cannot even express how much I freaking loved this book! I first stumbled upon The Iron Butterfly about a year ago and was immediately enthralled by the story. I then had to wait- very impatiently- for Steele Wolf to come out..... and then AGAIN for Silver Siren..... And as Thalia so aptly put it: "One of the hardest lessons I never learned was patience." lol ;-) I am just so pleased with the finale of this awesome series. It was more than I hoped it would be and I am so glad I invested my time and sanity into Chanda's story. It was definitely worth the wait.♡

  Oh my word!!! I loved this series so so much! It was very interesting and good.
  *spoiler*
  I knew after the whole trip to the sword brothers home that she would choose Kael. Kael was the real deal. He was truly her soul mate and knew that before they were bonded. :)
  I loved the way that it ended. Normally I don't like it when a great and main character dies in a book (cough cough ALLEGIANT cough cough) but it was a good trade. It was nice to have he hero saved and her loved one to be with her.
  It was a very great series! Loved the writing and the story.

  Enchanting story
  
  This enchanting story engaged me from the first book to the very last page of the third the series. I was enthralled in the story and didn't want to put it down! Chanda Hahn really knows how to cross fairy tale, mystery, adventure, and even a little love into this story that will engrossed you. The heroine of this series is so determined and tough and you fall in love with her character. I would highly suggest this book to a YA or an adult for a great fantasy type story with much suspense.
