Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros

4.5

adventurous emotional lighthearted fast-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Complicated

Loveable characters: Complicated

Diverse cast of characters: Complicated

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I think that this book was a really fun read. I definitely liked it better than the second book in the series as it felt like it returned to the magic that made the first book so good. I really appreciated the increased development of the world with the islands, but I do wish we had more time to explore them. I also think that overall there are a lot of characters and it is hard to really get attached to all of them like I think the author wants us to. For example

in the last battle when Quinn died I had completely forgotten who she was and how she was related to the story

. This could be due to the fact that I read the last book a year ago but still, I think it would be good to focus in on some of the characters. Another nit pick is

I think that andarna should have been gone for longer, it feels like her decision to leave was reversed so quickly.

. Otherwise I really enjoyed reading this and were it not for other commitments I would not have been able to put it down. I'm very excited to see where the story goes from here.
