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.
The Empyrean series is best enjoyed in order.

Precise Disarray –
I personally enjoy this story, and greatly look forward to more.
I dont want to give anything away. I dont write reviews to rehash what I read. I skip reviews that give too much synopsis or delves into book report style. Just going to gloss over.These books get a wide expanse of reviews. Great to terribad. Like it or dont, writers have a magical ability to weave worlds and create people like they are real. I’m thankful for writers, and if a story can make me feel something, can make me imagine something, then I am forever grateful.I am a fan of this series, and a book or story doesnt have to be perfect for me to enjoy it. No, this is not perfect, but I love hanging out in this world. If I’ feeling it, then I read the book, if it isnt working for me, then I give myself permission to stop and turn to something else. I frankly found these books entertaining, and I look forward to the next installment.I think book 3 story line has gelled a lot, with much of that having to do with main characters having gone through some stuff. Some new names left it hard for me to keep track of, but not off putting. Some characters I would like to have seen more of, again not off putting. I definitely got the feels in this one, and I definitely wont say from what. But I will say I was blowing my nose as I read in bed. Not a devastating thing, just a bittersweet thing.Lots of humor, lots of WTF, and plenty of new areas explored. Of course, lots of low level (to me) spice.I like the diversity of characters. I love the dragons. I really got a greater understanding of degree of bond. It isnt that it was explicitly explained, I think something just clicked further.I like when I need to take a breather when I finish a book. That is when I have to read something entirely different, and with this one it is like that. Leaves me with feels and thoughts, and I dont want to jump into anything of same genre right away.

Full dose of fantasy alongside our romance
Best one yet! This is her Prisoner of Azkaban aka: the writing and worldbuilding catch up to an engaging story with characters we already love. I need a little more time to process and write a coherent review that isn’t full of all-caps, exclamation points, and spoilers.3 weeks later and I’ve read so many despairing (and overlong, repetitive) 2* and 1* reviews that I had to speak up for those of us who loved OS.For some context, I grew up a fantasy reader. Lord of the Rings, Narnia, Dragonriders of Pern, Game of Thrones, Wayfarer Redemption, Valdemar, Sword of Truth. I only came to romance in my late 20s and romantasy later. However, many of the above-mentioned books HAD romance, it was just rarely explicit and rarely focused on a trope. I got into the Empyrean series reluctantly as I’m not on TikTok and didn’t like Throne of Glass so I avoid hype books.I loved Fourth Wing. Sure it was in a war college with twenty-somethings and was incredibly dramatic as that age group often is. But the magic system was interesting, I love dragon bonds, and Yarros had created a world that could grow along with plenty of rich characters.In IF we got outside of college and met another country and the gryphons. Great, that’s growth. As well, our lovers are torn apart at times, that’s normal 2nd book romance. Imogen, Rhiannon, and Mira are fleshed out a bit. Violet learns about her magic and we learn why Andarna’s special.In OS we get a huge expansion of the world and lore. I agree that the many gods were hard to follow at first but Hinduism has dozens of gods so this was manageable. Minor characters got growth (Ridoc, Aaric, Cat, Sawyer, and Garrick, love y’all) and our lovebirds are working toward a goal together. I LOVED the quest story! It was pure classic fantasy. They even gathered mysterious objects that will be of use later. Andarna had a whole story arc and we learn a heap more about dragon history and their impact on magic itself. Big news and potential major implications against the venin. Along with everything we learn from Theophanie (her name is fine, Aelin is ridiculous).Yes, there’s another cliffhanger but now there’s amnesia too? That’s very different from IF! Violet and Xaden made a major relationship step and they both dug into their family history and trauma in different ways. These characters have to step up in different arenas beyond just battle. Violet has to lead, Xaden has to be emotionally vulnerable and politics plays a much bigger role, which was interesting and more mature.A lot of people also forget that middle books/movies are supposed to raise more questions than answers. Does no one remember Empire Strikes Back?! Han’s missing, Luke lost a hand, Vader claims to be Luke’s father, and new allies and planets have been introduced. For OS, I’ve had so much fun discussing theories and analyzing lines and references with friends. This is a rich book and an engaging world. It was never going to stay in a neat academy + romance box.

SPOILERS – You’ve been warned.I genuinely still have no words, except who’d have thought Dain “eyes here” Aetos vs. the Empyrean fandom was the actual enemies to lovers or maybe that’s just me.There are mixed reviews on this book, but I must say, I was blown away by this book, so much so that it may be my favourite in the series? The world building, the character development (I mean, Violet is a complete badass), and the relationships.Firstly, special shout out to Ridoc “F like a third” Gamlyn. I genuinely think (other than Xaden, of course), he was the only person who was 100% there for Violet and supported her through everything. He put her in her place when she needed it but carried her through it. I also think his signet will be significant in the next two books, perhaps first 6 significant?On the subject of signets, the second signets were popping off left, right, and bloody centre with the realisation of Violet’s second and the marked ones all seeming to have them also? I don’t think we fully understand how monumental Violet’s signet is. Yeah, we saw your nervous expression, Berwyn.Aaric, yeah, did not see that one coming. Again, first 6 significant?Finally, Xaden, I honestly was a puddle every time this man opened his mouth. The lines this guy comes out with? I honestly don’t think I’ve ever given my hands more of a workout… highlighting, geez, get your mind out of the gutter. We love a jealous Xaden, and we saw him make an appearance a few times.And with that ending, the throw your book at the wall and stared off into nothing for hours ending, we wait for the next instalment. WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT ENDING.I could go on and on with thoughts but overall, 5 stars, no notes, loved it immensely.

Let’s get one thing clear: Fourth Wing, Iron Flame, and Onyx Storm are not stand-alone. Onyx Storm is the third of what is to be a five-book series. Each one immerses the reader in the world of Basgiath War College. Sex, battles, magic and opinionated dragons add to the reading pleasure.I read all three Empyrean services in chronological order, enjoying each one as they contribute to the (many) characters’ development and the unfolding multi-layered storyline. I am grateful to Rebecca Yarros for renewing my love for quality fantasy. I found myself seeking stolen moments in the day and quiet time before bed to read all three books.Despite the prominent fantasy aspects of the books, Yarros’s characters are quite relatable with their imperfections, fears, and vulnerabilities. Onyx Storm ends on a cliffhanger, with much to be untangled, especially for our main character, Violet. I look forward to reading Yarros’ last two books.
Geweldig boek!!! Kon hem niet wegleggen –
Let op, heb het nog steeds 5 sterren gegeven, maar is wel de minste van de serie.

Alright y’all, I just finished Onyx Storm and I’m not okay but in the best way. This book blew my mind! I thought I knew what to expect, but wow… I was wrong. There were so many twists and emotional moments. I kept going from “WHAT just happened?” to “I need a break!”Violet and Xaden? Their chemistry is still 🔥. The spiceness was a little less this time, but their bond felt deeper and more emotional.I really liked how this book had more action, battles, deaths that kept me hooked the whole time. That one death near the end especially broke my heart. 💔I also loved that we finally got more answers about the world, the dragons and their history. But of course, that just brought even more questions! Now my brain is spinning trying to make sense of it all.This third book was full of drama, tension, and powerful moments. I enjoyed every bit of it.
