Good, but could be have been better. Worst narration ever

Story - Rebeca is building the story well. Leaves us on the hook by the end of the book, but tbh I was less hooked throughout this book compared to forthwing and iron flame. For the first half of the book, I felt lost even though I recapped forthwing and iron flame before listening to Onyx Storm. The story felt a bit decoupled from the first two books. And somehow Rebecca managed to make Xaden less appealing. My mind is blown as to how you can do that. Loved Ridoc and Aaric in the book. Now I am left with more questions than answers.


Narration - the narration was the worst part about this book. Specially after listening to Quicksilver, this felt like a crappy third rated audio experience. The narrator painted the story with a completely different vibe with her grumpy narration. I was so annoyed, at some point I was forcing myself to listen which was taking away from the pleasure of the story. Regret buying the audiobook.

REBECCA YARROS DOES IT AGAIN - SPOILER ALERT

SPOILER ALERT
“I will save him.”
― Rebecca Yarros, Onyx Storm

Rebecca Yarros did it again ! I am obsessed. Not often an author can have me wanting to reread a book immediately after finishing it..

[ I have so many theories and questions rattling in my brain.

Finally we meet Xadens mother.
The broken compass gifted to Violet.. Is it truly broken? What does it point too if not north?
~ D R E A M W A L K E R ~ Yay !
Does Violet have a third signet? It felt like the when it was said how dare you gift her that, was about more then Violets dream walking.. Why could Violet channel magic and still communicate with her dragons in the isles with no magic
Andarana finding her family only for them to turn there backs on her was heartbreaking.
All the talk about being dedicated and all the paths Violet could have travelled, Did Violet start to turn venin as a kid? and was it stopped by being dedicated to dunne?
Aaric can see the future!? Holy shit.

Now about the ending...
Who was Xadens new "brother" .. Obviously it is someone close considering he said whoever it was watched him suffer for the past 5 months. Could it be Bodhi? He was unaccounted for in the end, not to mention Xaden married Violet and gave her everything.. Is that because bodhi couldn't take over since he turned venin?? What happened in the 12 hours Violet forgets.. and why would Violet tell Imogen to erase those memories (assuming it was Violets choice)

Love the Characters

I loved that we got to hear more of other people’s thoughts and stories through this book…but damn the cliffhangers are rough! Can’t wait for the next one!

Another great book for the Empyrean

I love the story and the endless action constantly having me on edge never finding a place to book the book down.

Fully invested

What a great story! It is action packed and a lot happens again in this 3rd installment. I loved spending more time with so many fav characters from the first two books. Each character has their own personality that continues to grow in the background and shine through on the page. This and the well planned story that delivers at the same time it introduces more & more - shows a real talent in Rebecca Yarros. Loved it!
I thought Rebecca Soler did a great job again. She pulls me into the story and I love her delivery.
I also read the book, which I found helpful because there is so much action and so many clues; I didn't want to miss a thing!
Only complaint is the narrator who read Rhiannon's chapter sounded like she was reading a fairytale to children on the story time mat. Not a good fit for this book at all.
Thanks for the ride Rebecca x2! Can't wait for the next one!

A little disappointing

The third book was a disappointment. I found so many parts repetitious. I started to get tired of the love scenes.

Good

I would’ve preferred less battle scenes but generally speaking, I enjoyed this book. A little hard to follow because there’s lots of names thrown around that didn’t make big impacts in the first few books.

Sucky narrator

I hate that they used the same narrator as the other books. She makes everything sound sarcastic or angry, even the parts where there’s no dialogue. She seriously ruined the experience for me but I’d never have the time to read the actual book so I was stuck with this. Redo all the books with a new narrator!

Amazing book but narrations changed

Love this book, but it’s only 1 women’s voice this time. I preferred the narrations from the previous 2 books it was a lot more engaging when you could tell the difference between characters. Also it
