Loved this as I did the others. It was a little slow to start with the political negotiations that went on but certainly picked up the pace.

It was definitely a rollercoaster of emotions and that ending..... I need to know more.....

I enjoyed this book. There was a LOT of info at some points it became a little overwhelming to follow. But it was a very good book and I can't wait for the next book.

Not my favorite book of the series but love it nonetheless. It had a different plot progression from the other two books. It was more focused on understanding the gods and learning about past events in a modern way with the characters. Which I  liked and found interesting, but it wasn't as action packed and groping as the first two books. I do think it set up well for the next book and I'm hooked. I can't wait for the next book!

Onyx Storm has been wrapped up! 🎉 My opinions are that the book started too slowly, and that there were too many insignificant character names being thrown around, which made following the storyline a bit difficult at times. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the book as a whole, and I’m looking forward to the next one. That ending is a serious cliffhanger.

I think I enjoyed this volume more because it embraced the Fantasy angle and not the Romance angle. I still stand by this really could have been the next Hunger Games level series without all the sex.
