Onyx Storm ★★☆☆☆

Read in 2025: Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros 📚

What a disappointing read. Initially, it was meant to be a trilogy, but now Yarros wants to make it five books coz reasons 🙄 I liked the first book and excused the passable second one as something she was using to set up the grand finale. But this ended up as another rambling and often frustrating over the same angst and fights between Violet and Xaden.

In fact, other characters also seemed to get tired of their own existence. Ridoc, one of the more likable characters in the book, offers the best review of the lead pair’s relationship

“You and Riorson bicker like you’ve been married fifty years and neither of you wants to do the dishes.”

“That is not true,” I protest as Sawyer nods. “Agreed,”

Ridoc says. “And it’s always the same fight.” He lifts his hand to his chest. “I’ll trust you if you stop keeping secrets!” He drops the hand and scowls. “It’s my secretive nature that attracted you, and why can’t you just stay out of harm’s way for five fucking minutes?” Rhi laughs so hard she nearly chokes.”

I couldn’t have reviewed it better. Sheesh!
