‼️Spoilers at blurb level‼️

📍“As much as I want you to run, I’m too selfish to give you up.”

📍“I won’t lose you, not even to yourself.”

📍“This will only ever be yours. You could leave me or even meet Malek, and it still would be. I’ve made my peace with knowing there’s no getting over you.”

Took me a month to find the right amount of time to read Onyx Storm. But I wouldn’t change it for the world. I had the time to savor it, to digest it, to make it part of my very soul… piece by piece. 

This felt like a Book 2. Now, I know some of you guys detest Book 2s cadence. It’s slower in a sense, with lots of things happening but also nothing really major going on. I, on the other hand, adore Book 2s. All my immense need for information to start flowing so I can start making a better sense of things is satiated with Book 2s. Book 2s is where I connect with secondary characters (Mira, I adore you 😭) and where I see the resilience of the main ones. 

There’s no “will they, won’t they.” There’s no final battle to worry about… yet. There’s just lots of plotting, secrets uncovered and a healthy dose of twists I never see coming. Book 2s make or break a series. And this “I feel like a book 2” Onyx Storm solidified my unwavering love for The Empyrean. 

Lose it all. But never her. 🖤
