A review by hollanddavis
Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros
2.0
My thoughts in no particular order:
1. Xaden and Violet are like those seagulls from Finding Nemo. Half of this book was just the two of them going “Mine. Mine. Mine”
2. Yarros has officially beaten Cassandra Clare for “Most Characters Squeezed Into One Book”, and I can’t even remember half of them.
3. Considering they’re in the middle of a war, I find everyone’s tendency to ignore orders and do whatever they want concerning
4. Anyone interested in becoming a diplomat should read this book so they know exactly what NOT to do when interacting with foreign governments.
5. It would’ve been more impactful if she’d actually died (you know who I’m talking about)
6. Xaden and Violet are literally so horny all of the fucking time
7. Xaden’s whole “I’ll kill anyone who looks at you” schtick is overdone, gives me the ick, and is terrible for fostering a healthy (or at least nontoxic) work environment. You can’t threaten everyone and tongue your girlfriend in public and expect people to respect you.
There’s more, but I want to stop thinking about this book.
