Spice Rating: šŸŒ¶ļøšŸŒ¶ļø.5 / 5

One question. When will they become third years, Rebecca? šŸ˜…

My summary: After the traumatizing events of the past 1.5 years, Violet just wants to save her family, friends, her love, and her country. Now, Violet and her squad mates must travel beyond the wards to search for Andarna's kind and for a cure. They hope that perhaps their findings will aid in the ongoing war against the Venin.

My thoughts: Overall, Onyx Storm is a fun time for everyone who loved the first two books in the series. There were so many hilarious moments, close calls, dragons, romantic tension, and epic battles that I thoroughly enjoyed. But, now that I've had time to process this novel, I do think there was a lot of unnecessary plot lines with way too many side characters. Maybe I'll eat my words and all of these plots and people will be extremely important to the rest of the series; if not, a lot of them seemed superfluous. However, I still had a great time reading this book and would still recommend it to people who enjoyed the first two.

I don’t know how to review this book lol. I love the vibes and I like the action happening. I can’t keep the characters straight or all the locations we’re flying to but even I have to finally admit that there’s plot holes 😬. But does it really matter? It’s compelling and I just could not stop reading. I end up caring about certain characters and getting my heart broken over and over again. But then you fall in love with a new character and keep going. I don’t mind finishing the series. It ends on a cliffhanger but to me, I’m not desperate for the next book the way I was after fourth wing lol. I’m just enjoying the book for what it is: fun romantasy that plays on my emotions 😬

As someone with EDS this series will always have a special place in my heart. While I found the ending of the previous book to be incredibly frustrating, I do like the direction this book took. However, I feel like some of the plot points are a little too predictable at times. Overall it was an enjoyable read, and I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the future.

Felt rushed compared to previous books. Much less attention to detail world building with main plot developments hidden and rushed in side remarks rather than properly fleshed out.
