Onyx Storm

"There's always so many twists and turns in this series with such a big cliffhanger. I can't wait until the next book comes out, and some of my questions might be answered. "

"Literally feel like I am still processing this book. <br/><br/>So many questions. So many theories. So many answers. So much happening. <br/><br/>This one got me good. I gasped out loud."

"It was not necessarily my favorite so far everyone is gearing up for the big showdown. The ending was a bit confusing (I believe it was meant to be) and a huge cliffhanger, it sucks gonna have to wait so long for the next book!"

"Ummmm wow!! I love everything about this series but this book took it up a notch! Don’t want to give any spoilers so I’m leaving it at that. But holy crap!"

"Love this series. J ust not this book quite as much as Fourth Wing. This is probably due to training and Academy settings being one of my favorite tropes."

"I’m that meme from new girl where Jess talks about how she’s in a state of shock. I don’t know how to process what I just read but i loved every minute of it "

"It was hands down the best book of the serie so far. But what was that ending ??? I need answers now. "

""Onyx Storm," like the previous books in "The Empyrean" series, is a non-stop intense roller-coaster of action, adventure, and emotions!!! I loved how we got to explore past the continent and examine the isles!!! This book dived deeper into the setting and expanded the vast scope of the world Yarros created, and I loved it!!! I loved the character interactions and cried when beloved characters fell. This book may not have had the same impact as "Fourth Wing" had on some readers, but I felt that this book captured my heart like the previous books did! It focused on the emotional side of the spectrum, and I lived for it! It may be considered repetive or a chaotic mess, but the reality of war is pure chaos, and there is nothing clean and organized about it. I believe this book captured the essence of war and tried to humanize it through the eyes of our beloved main characters - by humanize I mean this book made an effort to show all sides of those engaged in this war and their reasoning behind it which is a powerful and meaningful approach. I seriously can not wait for the next book to be released because I want to see Violet grow in confidence and save Xaden from himself even if that means he doesn't fully return to his "true self". All in all, I found this book to be a fantastic read that kept me enthralled from the very first page to the last line!!!"

"As if I wasn’t already obsessed with this world, then I read this. There is so much to unpack. I almost want to start an immediate reread. More world building, more character development, more politics. I felt a full spectrum of emotions. What an intricate web Rebecca weaves. Secrets revealed but so many more questions to be answered. I can’t wait to see where she takes this series."

"I didn’t hate it, but I won’t give more than 3.5 stars for this one. "
