Good book! I listened on audio.
I liked it way more than iron flame. This book was interesting, adventurous, and sexy. It just dragged a lot and I felt like it could have been 100 pages shorter.
I will continue to book 4.

Onyx Storm picks up right after the explosive ending of Iron Flame, raising the stakes as Violet and her friends embark on a perilous journey to forge alliances and uncover the secrets surrounding the seventh breed of dragons.
While the plot progresses at a measured pace, the story shifts its focus toward developing the characters and delving into the complexities of their enemies.
The expanded world-building is a highlight, with Violet venturing to distant isles in an effort to save Aretia and unravel the mysteries of the new dragon species. These explorations enrich the fantastical world Rebecca Yarros has created.
Violet undergoes significant growth throughout the story, as she faces new challenges and grapples with the weight of leadership and responsibility.
Her character development is compelling, showing her transformation as she prepares for the approaching war where difficult decisions await.
Since Iron Flame, Violet's squad has proven to be steadfast and supportive, and this solidarity remains evident in Onyx Storm.
Among the characters, Ridoc shines as a new favorite of mine in this story.
He and Andarna add a touch of lightheartedness to the otherwise dark and intense plot with their witty banter and humorous antics, making them delightful additions to the story!
The romance also sees an improvement, with Violet and Xaden moving beyond miscommunication and the push-and-pull dynamic.
Their relationship matures as they face new challenges together, showcasing the strength of their trust and love.
The climax of the book is pure chaos, with heart-pounding battles and devastating losses that had me gripping the edge of my seat!
The dramatic conclusion is highlighted by the unexpected cliffhanger—a jaw-dropping twist that leaves me wishing I had the next book.
Overall, Onyx Storm is a captivating and emotional read that masterfully blends humor, heart-break, and high-stakes action. I found it even more enjoyable than Iron Flame.
With such a mind-blowing conclusion, it's clear that the journey is far from over, and I’m eagerly looking forward to the next instalment to see what lies ahead for Violet and Xaden!
