The Empyrean Book 3: Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros

 

The Empyrean Book 3

THE STORM IS COMING . . .

Get ready to fly or die in the breathtaking follow-up to Fourth Wing and Iron Flame from #1 New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Yarros.

After nearly eighteen months at Basgiath War College, Violet Sorrengail knows there’s no more time for lessons.

No more time for uncertainty.

Because the battle has truly begun; and with enemies closing in from outside their walls and within their ranks, it’s impossible to know who to trust.

Now Violet must journey beyond the failing Aretian wards to seek allies from unfamiliar lands to stand with Navarre.

The trip will test every bit of her wit, luck, and strength, but she will do anything to save what she loves - her dragons, her family, her home, and him.

Even if it means keeping a secret so big, it could destroy everything.

They need an army.

They need power.

They need magic.

And they need the one thing only Violet can find—the truth.

But a storm is coming... and not everyone can survive its wrath

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Incredible!! Oh man, what a wild ride. I could not put this book down. And it’s probably my favorite of the series so far. So, so much goes down in this story. And I’m gonna do my best not spoil anything because this is one book you don’t want spoiled! And if you haven’t read the previous two books then definitely don’t read past this! The book starts shortly after the previous book ended and Violet, Xaden, and all their friends and family have a lot to deal with. The war has truly begun and it will take everyone working together to survive. But Violet has a few priorities in this book. And the first and most important: Curing Xaden. She will look for any answers, everywhere she can. Including helping Andarna find her family. The seventh breed of dragon that disappeared long ago. She hopes they will be the key to defeating the venin and even saving Xaden. Like I said, a lot happens in this book. We learn a lot about the world we are in and see places we haven’t seen before. We learn more about their families and the secrets they carried. A lot of our own questions will be answered. Again, not gonna spoil, but some pretty big things we’ve been wondering the last few books are touched upon. Things become clearer just in time to ask more questions. And then no one will be surprised to find a cliffhanger ending to this one. I figured there would be one, but not the way we saw!! So mean to have to wait so long to learn what the hell happened at the end. Cause that final chapter alone brought way too many questions. Overall, really loved this book. Violet and Xaden have grown a lot in this one even with the threat of him fully turning over their heads. Everyone has stepped up in so many ways and we learn so much more about them. I really can’t wait to see how this series goes!
