A review by ellasayn
Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros

medium-paced

2.0

This book felt like one big mess. It feels like there is just no space to really breathe here. Like a bad soap opera. Stuff is happening but it feels unneeded or there's drama that is also unneeded. 

I feel as we go on I just start disliking the relationship more and more as well as Violet as a character. It's just the same type of arcs over and over and quite honestly it feels like she had little progress in this book when it comes to her power.

Powers I suppose since she has two but that second one wasn't even explored at all other then a small reveal and unneeded dreams.

Also the only plot I respected, the part where Andarna is send away, is almost instantly void when she shows up again? Girl you been gone like two weeks this makes no sense. At least keep her for the next book.

I really thought the second book improved itself after the first but this book was doing way way too much. The phasing was just hard to get through. I understand there's a war going on but at the end of the day they're still students in training. Right now, they don't feel like it at all.
