Loved it. I think it was better paced than Iron Flame. Action scenes are exactly what I’ve come to expect from this series, they left my heart pounding with no small amount of gasps and shrieks from me. I liked that we took a break from Basgiath and Aretia and saw more of the world. As the story moves from the college and into the greater world, yes, you’re going to get a burst of new characters being introduced and in a book smack in the middle is a series, nothing will be tied up with a tidy little bow. There are definitely more questions than answers in Onyx Storm and I honestly wouldn’t have it any other way. Rebecca Yarros does a great job of leaving bread crumbs if you’re astute enough to notice them. The wait for the next book will kill me but I’m confident it will be worth it.
