This book was an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish. I laughed, I cried, I cheered, and I was on the edge of my seat for some of the most intense combat scenes the series has delivered so far. It’s safe to say this one hit all the right notes.
Violet, our fearless FMC, continues to shine as a protagonist who grows stronger, smarter, and more capable with every book. This time around, she faces some harsh truths and learns lessons that push her to become the leader everyone needs her to be. Watching her “level up” in both her skills and her sense of purpose was incredibly satisfying. On the other hand, Xaden, our MMC, also gets his moments to shine and stumble. He’s a weapon in his own right, but his journey shows that even the strongest fighters have their limits. Their growth felt organic and well-earned, and it made me love them even more.
One of my favorite aspects of this book was how the secondary characters got more time to shine. They felt more fleshed out and integral to the story, which added even more depth to an already rich cast. I’m hoping this trend continues in the next installments because the supporting characters bring so much heart to the series.
The pacing? Flawless. Yarros strikes a perfect balance between action, tension, romance, and those gut-punch emotional moments. Nothing ever feels rushed or dragged out, and every scene has purpose. Plus, the world-building and magic system are absolute standouts in Onyx Storm. We finally get deeper explanations about the lore and magic, and the added layers of culture and diversity across the regions were a fantastic touch. It’s those small details—like creative problem-solving that ties into the world’s unique challenges—that make this book (and the series as a whole) truly special.
I was thrilled to finally get answers to some of the big, lingering questions. Of course, Yarros being Yarros, she’s also left us with a fresh batch of mysteries to obsess over while we wait for the next book. She absolutely knocked this one out of the park.
I already can’t wait to reread Onyx Storm to catch all the details I missed the first time around. It’s a great addition to an unforgettable series, and I’m counting down the days until the next installment.

关于作者
A story of twists, turns, and devastations.
Contains Spoilers!!I started out reading this book with high expectations, mainly because of how long the wait was to finally get it. In her epigraph quote, Mrs. Yarros set a great tone for the book, and it was something that resonated with me personally.“To the ones who don’t run with the popular crowd, the ones who get caught reading undertheir desks, the ones who feel like they never get invited, included, or represented. Get your leathers. We have dragons to ride.” (Yarros, 2025, epigraph).That quote hit home for me, and I had to honestly put the book down for a few minutes and just let that feeling sink in. Growing up I was bullied a lot because I was different or defective. You see, I had cancer that caused me to lose my right eye, the treatment resulted in me being immunosuppressant, causing me to be sick a lot. I spent a lot of time by myself and dove into books as my source of companionship, which is why this quote touched me so much. I love when authors start out with an epigraph, especially if it feels like it is talking to me!Now, on to the story, where Mrs. Yarros dives right in setting the tone for the book, the struggle to save Xaden. Mrs. Yarros also gives a glimpse into why the book is called Onyx Storm, by saying that the mental connection between Xaden and Violet is there but resembles a thick wall of “...chilled onyx” (Yarros, 2025, Prologue). Also, I love that Xaden and Violet still revolve around the theme of rebellion throughout this book, first with the ban of their relationship and ending with their surprise marriage! Additionally, even though they are separated for a lot of this book, the romance and spice level is something that I enjoyed but does also leave me wishing for more.We finally find out what Violet’s second Signet is from Andarna. She is a “...dream-walker” (Yarros, 2025, Chapter Fifty). However, this revolution isn’t explored much before Andarna separates from Violet for her kind, which leaves Violet with one dragon instead of two. It is later revealed that even without Andarna, Violet still contains the power of dream-walking, which means she technically still has two Signet powers. Also, something that got me, when Andarna comes back to Violet at the end of the book, does that mean she is forming a new connection? If so, could this new connection result in a new Signet power, possibly one that will help save Xaden? Will Violet be the first rider to have three Signet powers?Overall, I equally loved and hated this book, I would rate the book a 4.5 out of 5. It provided almost as many answers as it created new questions. It provided some plot twists that were unexpected but also had a lot of predictable elements, for example, how the dragons rejected Andarna. But overall, I am happy with how the story is turning out. I believe that if Mrs. Yarros would have let Violet save Xaden before he turned full Venin would have not been true to the story as a whole. I think figuring out how to cure, or at least restore what they have lost, to full Venin is the end game for this series. Finally, I am left with the wonder if Violet will now be referred to as a Duchess and what will her last name look like!

The excitement, the magic, the battles and love story all come together to create such a scene in your head that it’s like a movie unfolding as you read. Her characters are incredibly personable and realistic, with diseases and handicaps and different lifestyles all being accepted and normal.
The book opens up where iron flame left off (stop reading if you haven’t read iron flame or do not want to know anything about onyx storm) with Xaden having turned Venin and Violet being Violet who wants to save the world, determined to save him too. Xaden is safer behind the wards at Basgaith so he does everything he can to stay even if that ends up creating a new complication to his and Violets relationship.
Dark magic wielders seem to pop up everywhere throughout the book keeping you constantly at the edge of your seat waiting for the next attack or problem to arise.
Andarna desperately wants to know where she’s from and what happened to her family and Violet will do everything she can to help her while also fighting to find the cure for Xaden. Traveling all over the continent and isles to find answers, Violet and her crew of riders and flyers are faced with some hard choices and disappointments with what seems like little reward and not the answer they were needing to hold on to hope. But we do learn more about Andarna which was a big question as the end of iron flame.
We also discover what Violets second signet is. We learn a lot more about the Venin, their power and what they are capable of doing. We do end with a cliffhanger, in true RY form but it has quite the twist to it!
The series isn’t complete so no HEA is guaranteed but there aren’t any love triangles or cheating and our hero and heroine are together for Onyx Storm.
Book: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Butterflies: 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Slight downside: book was a little warped but I think it was because of how the publisher shipped the books. It is flattening from being in my bookshelf pressed between other books.
