islayk 's review for:

Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros
3.5
adventurous emotional mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

It felt like most of the book was filler and dragged in places, especially where plot didn't go anyway. It felt like Rebecca Yaros was trying to create a 'Triwizard Tournamen' of island hopping but did not flesh out the world building.

The romance storyline become even more unbearable than in Iron Flame, with very little character development. I did appreciate that multiple characters pointed out the relationship as being toxic. 

I did however like the battle scenes. I did cry at some of the loss and grief and I will read the rest of the books.
