Hey guys! What up what up what upppp?! SO I just finished Onyx Storms. And i swear to all the gods, I will destroy everyone and anyone who says the book was overrated. THIS BOOK SHATTERED ME. But anyways lets get to the review:

After nearly eighteen months at Basgiath War College, Violet Sorrengail knows there’s no more time for lessons. No more time for uncertainty.

Because the battle has truly begun, and with enemies closing in from outside their walls and within their ranks, it’s impossible to know who to trust.

Now Violet must journey beyond the failing Aretian wards to seek allies from unfamiliar lands to stand with Navarre. The trip will test every bit of her wit, luck, and strength, but she will do anything to save what she loves―her dragons, her family, her home, and him.

Even if it means keeping a secret so big, it could destroy everything.

They need an army. They need power. They need magic. And they need the one thing only Violet can find―the truth.

But a storm is coming…and not everyone can survive its wrath.

SPOILER ALERT

THIS BOOK FREAKING SUCKED BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT WAS SO GOOD I LOVED IT TO THE STARS AND BACK. I FEEL EMPTY INSIDE. IM NOT EVEN JOKING. WHY DID QUINN HAVE TO DIE. WHY DID IMOGEN HAVE TO BE THE LAST ONE TO HOLD HER.

““We made it a good one.” She falls limp, and when I lift my shaking
fingers to her throat, there’s no pulse. She’s gone.
My hand slides to the side of her head, and I hold her tight.
The scream that forces its way through the tangled mess of my throat
shreds my soul on the way out and reverberates off the stone, shaking the
foundations of my world until it doesn’t just slow, it stops. I stop.
Hi! I’m Quinn Hollis. I’ve decided we should be friends. That’s what she
said to me as we climbed the turret on Conscription Day.
You do realize we’re about to cross the walkway of death.
Well, then it might be a short friendship, but we’ll make it a good one.“

QUINN MY LOVE. I DIDNT KNOW YOU THAT WELL BUT YOU WERE SO SWEET AND KIND. AND SHE WAS GONNA GET MARRIED TOO. POOR JAX. SHE MUST BE SHATTERED.

I SOBBED WHEN I READ THAT. I LEGIT SOBBED. IT TORE MY HEART CLEAN OUT OF MY CHEST.

UGH AND XADEN CHANNELED THROUGH THE EARTH AGAIN. AND I THINK HE MAY BE FULLY VENIN OR SMTH NOW BCS SGAEYL SAID HIS VEINS WERE LIKE CLEARLY VISIBLE.

AND XADEN AND VIOLET GOT MARRIED. SOBBING. SEND HELP RN. AND IMOGEN ERASED VIOELT’S MEMORY. LIKE 12 HOURS. THE 12 HOURS SHE WAS MISSING. OH GODS HELP ME.

“I flip the missive over to see two sentences written in Xaden’s
handwriting.
Don’t look for me. It’s yours now.
He’s gone“

XADEN RIORSON WHERE DID YOU GO. COME BACK TO ME AND VIOLET. PLEASE. IM ON MY KNEES DUDE.

*deep breaths once more*

ok. i’m much better now. I need BOOK 4 RIGHT NOW. PLEASE. but I also saw somewhere some new things we might be getting in Book 4:

“WHERE’S MY HUSBAND?“
“GET. YOU. HANDS. OFF. MY. WIFE.”
“Cadet Sorrengail? You mean DUCHESS Riorson?”
“You’re not where I left you, wife.”

AGH WAIT THATS SO CUTE. Also one more thing I noticed. So people be talking SO MUCH about Xaden and Violet’s bond but can we also please talk about Tairn and Violet’s bond!? Like hello!?
