Oh, Honey! Get Ready for the Onyx Storm!

Well, well, well. Gather ’round, all you fantasy lovers and hopeless romantics! Our fairy godmother Rebecca Yarros has waved her magic wand once again, and Onyx Storm has arrived! That’s right—your new book boyfriend is officially in print, and I’m not talking about your ex who thinks texting you after midnight is a good idea.

What’s the Onyx Storm About?

If you’ve been hiding under a rock, let me spill the tea. Onyx Storm is the third installment in the Empyrean series. It landed on our shelves just this past Tuesday, and it’s hotter than a dragon on a sunny day. This book picks up right where we left off with our fierce heroine, Violet Sorrengail, as she juggles dragon riding, high-stakes education, and that oh-so-delicious romance with her one-time nemesis, Xaden Riorson. Who doesn’t love a good enemies-to-lovers trope when the world is about to plunge into chaos? Sign me up!

Violet’s got her hands full not just with romance but also with uncovering secrets that could shake her world—and potentially spread some serious drama. Let’s be real: if her life were an Instagram feed, it would go from cute selfies to “no filter needed” chaos in the blink of an eye.

Patience, My Pretty—The Wait for Book Four!

Now for the plot twist we didn’t see coming: Yarros has announced we’ll all be in the waiting game for Book Four (cue dramatic sigh). Yeah, I know, it hurts. While it’s super tempting to throw a tantrum like a toddler who dropped their ice cream, don’t fret! The author has fully plotted the series, so we know we’re in for a ride.

What Can We Read in the Meantime?

If you’re rolling your eyes at that timeline and thinking, "What am I supposed to do, stare at my wall?"—fear not, darlings! Here are a few fantasy gems to tide you over until you are reunited with our dragon-riding queen:

• Crescent City by Sarah J. Maas: This one has it all—gorgeous landscapes, a gripping plot, and romance that will make you weak in the knees.

• Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross: Enemies to lovers? Yes, please! Throw in a little magical competition, and you’ve got a page-turner.

So, yes, you won’t have Violet to distract you for a while, but these reads are sure to satisfy your cravings for epic battles and swoon-worthy romance.

Final Thoughts

Let’s not forget what’s essential here: fantasy can sweep you off your feet, whisk you away on grand adventures, and introduce you to characters you’ll love and loathe in equal measure. So, grab your favorite cozy blanket, stock up on some snacks that would make a dragon jealous, and dive headfirst into the Empyrean universe with Onyx Storm.

And remember—this wait may be long, but it will be worth it when Violet and Xaden come back to grace our hearts once more. Keep your spirits high and your TBR piles even higher, my friends. Happy reading!
