A Fourth Wing fan has told fans of the bestselling fantasy series to read another hidden gem romantasy ahead of the Onyx Storm release date. The third instalment of Rebecca Yarros' popular series is set to be released on Tuesday, January 21. Onyx Storm will pick up where the second book, Iron Flame, left off, with Violet Sorrengail seeking allies as Xaden Riorson faces a new challenge.
With days still to go before release day, keen readers may be looking for something to fill the gap - or something to line up for after they finish Onyx Storm. Luckily, there are plenty of recommendations out there, with TikTok user @LynnesBookCorner sharing her top four books she describes as perfect for Fourth Wing fans.
"If you loved Fourth Wing and are looking for your next read to kind of give you similar feels because you loved the trial aspect but want to read something with vampires, then you need to read The Serpent and the Wings of Night," she said. Carissa Broadbent's 2022 novel, which is the first in her Crowns of Nyaxia series, follows Oraya, a human girl who is adopted by a vampire king and enters a dangerous tournament. It has been compared to The Hunger Games and has an average rating of 4.3 over 521,379 ratings on Goodreads.
Lynne continued: "And if you love Fourth Wing because you love the academia vibe and want more of a bully romance, but keep the vampires, then you need to read On Wings of Blood. This was such a fun read.". On Wings of Blood is the first book in Briar Boleyn's Bloodwing Academy series, which follows protagonist Medra as she is sent to an elite school for vampires. The book is a bit of a hidden gem, with just 1,774 ratings on Goodreads, with an average of 4.16.
