Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros
2.75
adventurous dark medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I appreciate the author fixing some basic works building problems
if they are in a war, why are they fine killing off cadets during school? And the naming of their land as the continent
I also liked the expansion of the world building
seeing the other islands, how they react to dragons, also the religious side of the world. Intrigued as to why violet was dedicated to a temple? At least it explains her hair


The writing was quite mid and if I could tell that the author used too many similes, then there was a lot and it was annoying. A lot of deaths/almost deaths occured and then moved on quite quickly and I didn't like the random povs at the end. It was confusing. 

Plus I disliked any of the lovey moments of violet looking at xaden, I could not care less about their relationship
