2025年2月1日 在美国审核I loved Onyx Storm, and I can't wait for the next book! Yarrow's writing continues to be a highlight – she has this amazing knack for balancing humor and really touching moments. In fact, I even teared up a few times – the emotional punches really landed! I especially loved learning more about the dragons and their ideology, and seeing Violet and Xaden's love story continue to develop. The book also does a great job depicting the corrupting influence of power. And, of course, I have to mention Broccoli – you'll know what I mean when you read it!
Now, while I thoroughly enjoyed Onyx Storm, there were a couple of things I noticed. I did find myself wishing there was more representation of Violet's chronic illness. As a hypermobility girlie myself, I so feel for her, and I think that aspect of her experience could have been explored further for the future. Also, I noticed that some pivotal moments and plans happen behind the scenes, so I wasn't always clued in on Violet's motivations or actions. It made certain parts a little tricky to follow initially, but I suspect it will all make perfect sense on a second read. Onyx Storm definitely felt like a bridge book, laying a lot of groundwork for the future. I spent the first chunk of the book getting my bearings with new characters and locations, and exploring more of the world's history. Honestly, it took me a little while to really get into it, and the initial setup was a tad confusing. But once I found my footing? Things started to click, and the story really took off. The rest of the book was captivating.
But honestly, those small things didn't detract from my overall enjoyment. This book definitely expands the lore and plot in exciting ways, and I can't wait to see what happens next!
