maybe not read this if you did not read this book! this is your only warning 

➸ Onyx Storm was one of my most anticipated book releases of 2025. While I really enjoyed Fourth Wing and had a good time with Iron Flame, I was hoping this book would bring the series back to the level of Fourth Wing. Overall, I did enjoy it, but I still had many of the same issues I had with Iron Flame. This book didn’t fix those problems; instead, it left me even more confused.

➸ overall it was a okay book, don’t let my thoughts scare you of reading it. because my enjoyment was very high. I did laugh at this book. I did find the plot and story in general good. there were just many things I did not understand or did not like the way it was done. and it saddens me because I was a big lover of fourth wing.
