denee16 's review for:

Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros
2.0
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The story feels like something that could have and should have been more fleshed out before it was published. The same issues I had with the last book of being told Violet is smart without being shown it is riddled throughout the whole book. Character deaths I feel like I should have cared about based on how emotional the scene was presented didn't land because I haven't connected with like any of these characters. There are so many cool ideas that just feel like they were forgotten or ill executed.
