Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros

 

My thoughts

I read and enjoyed this book very much. As the other two books did, this one was very exciting. To me it sort of started out a bit slow but quickly picked up.

You get to know the characters again from the previous books. The action between Xaden and Violet is not quite as intense. No breaking the furniture every couple of days. Their love is strong though. You see that throughout the story. There is a lot of fighting in this book and Violet steps up to be a great leader. She throws punches like crazy when pushed.

A few of the characters do die in this one as with the previous books. It's very good. An excellent addition to the Empyrean series. I hate having to wait for the next book.

The ending is by far the best one yet in my opinion. I did not see it coming. It was perfect but a huge cliffhanger.

You can't read this book as a standalone. It is a series meant to be read in order.

Well done.

About

After nearly eighteen months at Basgiath War College, Violet Sorrengail knows there’s no more time for lessons. No more time for uncertainty. Because the battle has truly begun, and with enemies closing in from outside their walls and within their ranks, it’s impossible to know who to trust.

Now Violet must journey beyond the failing Aretian wards to seek allies from unfamiliar lands to stand with Navarre. The trip will test every bit of her wit, luck, and strength, but she will do anything to save what she loves—her dragons, her family, her home, and him.

Even if it means keeping a secret so big, it could destroy everything. They need an army. They need power. They need magic. And they need the one thing only Violet can find—the truth. But a storm is coming...and not everyone can survive its wrath.
