Onyx Storm: Final Thoughts and Book 4 Predictions


First off: let's see how many of my predictions were right!

  • So far, Yarros has managed about 1 meaningful death scene per book: Liam in book 1 and General Sorrengail in book 2. Other characters died, yes, in droves, but none of them mattered. So I'm guessing the same will occur here and she'll save her one decent death scene for the climax again. I say we'll lose another one of Violet's squad members. My guess would be Imogen.
  • The wards will be raised in Aretia.
  • Violet and Xaden will get engaged, or at least start talking about marriage.
  • We will discover that Andarna is the Mary Sue of dragons and has other weird powers.
  • Yarros will frequently tell us how dangerous venin!Xaden is but nothing bad will actually happen and if it does it will never actually matter.
Damn, I'm good. We got Quinn dying instead of Imogen, but we got Imogen's POV and Mira almost died. Otherwise I was dead on: the wards got raised, Violet and Xaden talked about getting married and then did, Andarna has weird magic powers from being an irid, and Xaden being a venin mattered exactly ONE time (the irids didn't like him) before the end of the book where he lost his shit. And the irids came back to deus ex machina anyway.



This book boggles me.
asking people to pay money for this book is a sin )
