I'm only a little late to the party for Onyx Storm. Honestly after seeing all the reviews I was worried going into this one, there seemed to be a lot of negativity. Honestly I loved Onyx Storm and definitely thought it was better than Iron Flame. I thought Onyx Storm brought back a lot of the humor and banter from Fourth Wing while still sticking with a overall more serious tone. I've seen a lot of comments that there was unnecessary world building but I found all the new info both necessary to the story and actually interesting? I loved seeing all the new islands. Also as someone who is terrible at remembering characters I surprisingly had no issues with this one. While I wish the book was shorter (it's a door stop to be sure) it kept a pretty consistent pace, except for the ending. The POV switches were a little disjointed. I think I'm in the minority but I loved it.
