jyotikab's review against another edition
4.0
Oh, the angst. The lovely, turturous, teenage angst is overflowing in this book. it still feels like a guilty pleasure. this book reminded me a bit of the show Supernatural, where the boys will do anything to protect each other, even if that means doing some dodgy stuff and keeping secrets. there were some very unlikely scenarios (2 aliens against the whole government Department of Defence) which was reminiscent of vampire diaries again, but then a book about aliens isn't likely to be realistic and I understand the author has to make it challenging for the characters. I think there was a lot of character development in this book, I felt there was a bit too much emphasis on the whole 'I like him/I don't like him' but overall the characters were fleshed out a bit more and we learn more about the back stories. the plot also developed in leaps and bounds in this book. the end plot line is similar to the darkest powers series. (a bit more childish than this series, but definitely enjoyable) I like the direction this is going, already got the next book in the series.

What an end!!!!! Can't wait until Opal comes out!
Onyx was great!!! I liked it as much as Obsidian!! I liked Kate better in the first book, maybe because of some of her bad decisions.
And Daemon... *sigh* I liked him better this time around, even though I'm really attracted to "jerk Daemon" too :P
Once again, one of my favorite things about these books is Daemon POV at the end. And that scene was... wow so intense. And how cute they were?
I love them together. I missed Dee a lot, I really enjoyed her in Obsidian. I never liked Blake haha.
And I'm a fan of how things developed between Daemon and Kate during this book. The chemistry between them is amazing.
I want to read Opal already!!!

Daemon, it was clear from the start that I would absolutely fall for you, YOU CAN STOP BEING SO GORGEOUS NOW!!
This book was so good, I can't even! I want to run to the bookshop now and grab the next book, I can't wait to read on!
I own the Special Collectors Edition, which includes scenes in Daemons pov, which made me fangirl so hard!

Onyx is net als Obsidian geweldig, maar in Onyx duik je nog dieper de wereld in van deze Lux-serie. Je raakt nóg gehechter aan de personages, wordt nóg dieper in het verhaal gezogen, en het is nóg moeilijker om het boek weg te leggen. Onyx eindigt met een vreselijk open einde en megaveel losse eindjes, dus wederom ben ik blij dat ik de gehele serie in één keer heb gekocht. Zo kan ik direct door met Opal, waarin we als het goed is één van de favoriete personages van Jennifer L. Armentrout zullen ontmoeten.
--
Ik twijfel eigenlijk nog of ik niet gewoon elk boek 5 sterren moet geven. ze zijn zo ver-sla-vend!

Tsjah, Onyx opnieuw lezen – maar nu in het Nederlands – bewijst maar weer dat Jennifer L. Armentrout een fantastische wereld met nog fantastischere personages heeft gecreëerd. Want ook nu kreeg ik er geen genoeg van en wilde ik het boek in één keer uitlezen. Je raakt nóg gehechter aan de personages, wordt nóg dieper in het verhaal gezogen, en het is nóg moeilijker om het boek weg te leggen. Onyx eindigt met een vreselijk open einde en veel losse eindjes, dus kom maar op met Opal.

Zehn Sekunden saß Damon Black auf seinem Platz, als er mir auch schon zuverlässig den Stift in den Rücken bohrte...

Wanna see Katy making one stupid decision after another? This is the book for you!
Es ist wirklich unfassbar wie dumm Katy hier handelt. Manchmal verstehe ich es ja, dass sie gewisse Dinge tut, aber dass sie Daemon dann nichts davon erzählt (mehrmals!) der ihr sofort helfen würde, weil sie es “vergisst” oder etwas “dazwischen kommt” ist einfach nur dumm und gefährlich - man sieht ja, wo es hingeführt hat.
Einige weitere Notizen von mir:
~ ... "Stift im Rücken"... - So iconic at this Point! 🙌🤣🤣
~ Ich finde es einfach viel zu lustig, das Daemon dauernd Blake mit einem anderen Namen anspricht, because I got the humor of a 7 year old 😂
~ Lesefortschritt 54%:
~ bei 68%:
~ Warum hat dieses Mädchen im Winter in WV immer nur einen Kapuzenpulli an und keine Winterjacke?
~ bei 96%:
Eine spannende Geschichte, die ich bestimmt weiterhören werde. Klassisches YA-Drama mit in diesem Teil weniger problematischen Stellen, aber doch einigen schwierigen. Great Escapism!

AWESOME! Onyx was a brilliant, well written, heart wrenching and addicting sequel to Obsidian. just when I thought the series couldn't get any better Onyx blew me away with its epicness and roller-coaster plot.
My Thoughts:
1. One thing that irked me while reading Obsidian was Daemon's need to always be a smart mouth or witty during a serious conversation. It can come off as mean or arrogant. But we finally get to see Daemon's sweet and romantic side (What?! He has a sweet side? yeah I know...) which totally won me over and had me falling head over heels for him.
2. Katy is still a kickass heroine and is definitely not a pushover when it comes to Daemon. (well except for a few in-the-moment-kisses)
3. The Ending. I kinda saw it coming but it was still a shocker nonetheless.
4. The pacing is comfortable and easy going. I don't know how the author is able to fit so MUCH into one book while not making it feel rushed.
5. There were alot of events that I did NOT see coming and I had to take a breather because I felt so emotionally overwhelmed.
6. I cannot wait to see what happens next in Opal! The series just keeps getting better and better.

OH.
MY.
FREAKING.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't think. I really can't explain what this book made to me. Last night I dreamt about aliens and abductions and Daemon. I spent a whole day reading this and I don't regret it.
No puedo pensar. Realmente no puedo explicar lo que este libro me ha hecho. Anoche soñé acerca de los extraterrestres y los secuestros y Daemon. Me pasé un día entero leyendo esto y no me arrepiento de ello.
Okey, here is my full review:
The book picks up a few days after the last chapter of [b:Obsidian|15852177|Obsidian (Lux, #1)|Jennifer L. Armentrout|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1346076434s/15852177.jpg|17588854], and Daemon and Katy are still connected. They don't know why that happenned after he healed her, but now Daemon wants to prove to her that his feelings for Katy are real. And, of course, she doesn't believe him because all the attitudes he had towards her on the first book. To make things worse, a new boy showed up in school and it's really interested in Katy. Like, totally interested. And now the Department of Defense is in town investigating some strange things that happenned in Halloween (meaning, Baruck's attack). But that's not it: Katy starts to develop some strange powers that she can't control and can be a consecuence of Daemon's healing.
Oh, boy.
This is the scenario and I have to be honest: I never thought this author would make me jump in my seat, stop my own breath and had me close the book for a few moments because I couldn't believe what was happening.
The dialogues and the descriptions are so well written, the characters have such a great development and every single chapter was awesome. There are some parts where the sweet Daemon Black showed up and I was like...
I still thought of him as a douche but my heart couldn't stop melting everytime I read any single scene with that Luxen.
Katy didn't annoy me until, more or less, the page 200. Her attempts to ignore Daemon were so funny but as soon as she started to get closer to Blake because of the stupid training (don't get me wrong, her motives for doing so are totally understandable) and Daemon started to not being with her...
Well... let's just say I wanted to smash the book onto the floor for how pissed I was.
The suspicion and all the uncover mission scenes made me clinging out in my couch and the fight scene at the end totally broke my heart.
"Ooh, look, there is only fourty pages left. Nothing can go wrong."
After reading Cassandra Clare and Jennifer Armentrout, that thought will never, EVER, show up in my head again.
The ending... well, I know the ending left me wanting for more and now I can't wait to throw this stupid final so I can ask my mum to buy me the next book! Honestly, I don't know why it took me so long to pick it up: IT WAS AWESOME!!!!
Okey, aquí está mi reseña completa:
El libro sigue algunos días después del último capítulo de [b:Obsidian|15852177|Obsidian (Lux, #1)|Jennifer L. Armentrout|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1346076434s/15852177.jpg|17588854], y Daemon y Katy siguen conectados. No saben por qué eso pasó después de que la sanó, pero ahora Daemon quiere demostrarle a ella que sus sentimientos por Katy son reales. Y, por supuesto, ella no puede creerle por todas las actitudes que tuvo hacia ella en el primer libro. Para empeorar las cosas, apareció un nuevo chico en la escuela y está realmente interesado en Katy. O sea, totalmente interesado. Y ahora el Departamento de Defensa está investigando en la ciudad algunas cosas extrañas que pasaron en Halloween (refiriéndose al ataque de Baruck). Pero eso no es todo: Katy comienza a desarrollar algunos extraños poderes que ella no puede controlar y pueden ser una consecuencia de la curación de Daemon.
Ay, madre.
Este es el escenario y tengo que ser sincera: nunca pensé esta autora me haría saltar en mi asiento, detener mi propia respiración y hacerme cerrar el libro por unos momentos porque no podía creer lo que estaba ocurriendo.
Los diálogos y las descripciones están tan bien escritos, los personajes tienen un gran desarrollo y cada capítulo era impresionante. Hay algunas partes donde el dulce Daemon Black apareció y yo estaba tipo...
Todavía pensaba en él como un pelotudo, pero mi corazón no podía dejar de explotar cada vez que leía cualquier escena única con ese Luxen .
Katy no me molestó hasta, más o menos, la página 200. Su intento de ignorar a Daemon eran tan divertidos pero tan pronto como empezó a acercarse a Blake debido al estúpido entrenamiento (no me malinterpreten, sus motivos para hacerlo son totalmente comprensibles) y Daemon comenzó a no estar con ella ...
Bueno... digamos que casi estampo el libro contra el piso por lo enojada que estaba.
Las sospechas y todas las escenas de la misión secreta me hicieron aferrarme a mi sofá y en la escena de la pelea del final se rompió totalmente mi corazón.
"Oh, mira, sólo quedan cuarenta páginas. Nada puede salir mal."
Después de leer a Cassandra Clare y Jennifer Armentrout, ese pensamiento nunca, nunca, aparecerá en mi cabeza de nuevo.
El final ... bueno, sé que el final me dejó con ganas de más y ahora no puedo esperar para tirar este estúpido final así le puedo pedir a mi mamá que me compre el que sigue! Honestamente, no sé por qué me tardé tanto tiempo en leerlo: ¡¡¡¡fue impresionante!!!!

The way Katy finally said to Daemon how much she wanted him and how he reacted was so sweet!! But I knew Will couldn't be trusted!
