Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros
3.0
This book had a lot going on. I don't want to say too many spoilers, but I will.
I hated this book, but let me explain why. Violet had no goal. She had no personal growth. She chased around other people's adventures and claimed it as her own, and we bounced around with plot so much we missed her entirely. That's the whole reason I liked this series, is because of Violet's characterization.
Granted, other characters got to shine, which is awesome, but they outshined the main protagonist.
Yarros is fantastic with plotting, but her world-building took the spotlight instead, and all the characters blended together because there were soooooo many.
