Book Review: ‘‘Onyx Storm’ by Rebecca Yarros
February is the month of love, so naturally we had to fit in a Romantasy series for our book club! Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros was out BONUS BOOK of the month.
Rebecca Yarros surprised everyone with the release of Onyx Storm and January 21st, 2025 couldn’t come fast enough!
Many have said the same thing about the third installment. It was hard to get into at first. It became a fast-paced adventure once Violet and her squad searched the Isles for irids.
‘Onyx Storm’ Map of the Isles Breakdown
We know our Fantasy readers LOVE maps.
The first half of Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros was a whirlwind of information. Some of the names being thrown around were overwhelming because some of us are visual people. Attempting to link the names to isles or even riders to dragons was difficult. However, once Yarros breaks it down in the second half of the book as they travel to each Isle in search of the irids, things become easier.
Book Review: ‘Iron Flame’ by Rebecca Yarros
After reading Fourth Wing in September with our wonderful community, it was very fitting that we would read the sequel the month of release. Many of our community members struggled with the length and how much lore was involved. The one thing that can be said about Iron Flame is that the characters are so well-written that they have become timeless. These characters will become familiar to everyone instantly, and that’s the magic of Yarros’s writing.
‘Fourth Wing’ Guide: Dragons and Their Riders
When it comes to world-building in fantasy novels, there can be an overload of information. Character names can be mixed up and even hard to pronounce. In Fourth Wing and now Iron Flame, Rebecca Yarros has made it difficult for readers to keep up with all the dragons bonded to their riders with their signets. Yarros focuses on Violet Sorrengail and her two dragons, Tairn and Andarna, but there are so many characters that end up helping her in Iron Flame.
