Audiobook Review: Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros

Onyx Storm

Author:
Rebecca Yarros
Narrator: Jasmin Walker & Justis Bolding
Series: The Empyrean (Book 3)
Publication: Entangled: Red Tower Books (January 21, 2025)
Length: 23 hours and 52 minutes

Description: 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.

My Thoughts: The third book in the Empyrean series has Violet and her picked companions leaving the Basgiath War College to search for allies. a cure for Zaden, and for Andarna's lost kin. The enemy is getting ever closer, and all of her quests are urgent.

The story was packed with adventure and intense emotions. Now that Xaden has declared his love for Violet, she has no intention of allowing him to set her aside because he fears that he will become the enemy that they are all fighting. So, they travel outside of their continent to see if answers and allies can be found.

The story had excellent world building. The island kingdoms were fascinating. Secrets were revealed about Violet's past which her parents had kept from her. Andarna's kin are found but prove not to have the answers they need. 

Unfortunately, this volume also ends on a cliffhanger. And the next book isn't yet in sight!

I bought the Kindle version on its release date. I added the Audible copy February 13, 2025. You can buy your copy here.
