Onyx Storm

I loved all three books in the series, but the third book ends with a cliffhanger. Please tell me there will be a fourth book, because I need to know what happens next!!!

Summary: A darkness that inhibits the relationship between hero and Xaden has to keep getting darker so the same story told in the first two books can be repeated. Xaden is bad so no relations allowed, which only makes it better. Never mind this is a completely dysfunctional relationship (guess that is part of why not allowed? If so, whatever, give it a rest). Magic rules got a touch more consistent compared to prior boos in the series, which I appreciated. But then the iridescent dragons crushed any partial rule adherence since they “are magic”, not conduits. But if iridescent dragons are magic, why did our hero’s iridescent dragon get weak due to lack of ambient magic? She clearly creates her own magic (see lightening strikes during duel) but gets tired while flying (attaches to harness over ocean between islands). Lack of consistency eliminates any tension because magic can just do (or not) what ever the story (fanfiction at this point) needs, with no limits. Fine example of “Deus ex magic”. The pronoun game is out of control as well. There are tons of characters in the story, most I can’t keep track of or care about (easy cannon fodder). So chapters that do not name the person whose point of view the reader is seeing, are just confusing and irritating (Imogen’s chapter being the main culprit here, but not the only one). Having the hero be physically weak (excessive physical complaints and injuries) but athletically superb (dual with queen) makes all the physical complaints seem whiny. And annoying. And boring. Hero is either athletic or not, story really needs to pick one. Good story if you skip the relationship stuff, most group discussions (spoiler alert! relationships and sex are the sum total here), and just read dialogue that avoids the above (so ignore 2/3 of the book - much like Twilight IMO). Glad there were no more clumsy, poor, and/or inaccurate efforts at science like previous books.

I loved the end of this book but the first like 60% was just pretty boring to me. I wish the action was more spread throughout the whole thing.

Loved all three books, when is book 4 coming out

It’s the gap book I believe in the series wasn’t disappointed but now we have to wait 😭

This leaves you on a cliff hanger of immeasurable proportions. I will change to a 5 star if there is another book if not this is a horrible way to end this series.

I liked the story overall EXCEPT, story seems to borrow heavily from previous stories and the ending left no closure. Seemed more like the author ran out of time and just stopped without tying up several plots.

Just wow!!!

I can’t get through this at all. I read the others in record time.

Seriously good read, and now I’m tired. Wow. I have no idea what can happen after this. Holy cow.
