Rebecca Yarros has gained success with her Empyrean Saga. The first book of her series, Fourth Wing, was released amidst the rise of the book community on TikTok, making it an instant hit with avid readers. After the success of A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas, fantasy fans were craving something more to sink their teeth into, and Fourth Wing gave them exactly that. The third book in the series, Onyx Storm, hit shelves on Tuesday, January 21.
Fans had spent an entire year waiting to see what would happen next to Violet Sorrengail in the magical world Rebecca created. Rebekah West, editorial director of Little, Brown's Piaktus imprint, (the book's publisher), told The Telegraph: "This level of fan devotion hasn't been seen since the days of Harry Potter," as readers queued in bookshops to be the first to get their hands on a copy.
After just days in stores, readers are already leaving unheard-of “7-star” reviews, claiming it’s "the best book they’ve ever read.” One passionate Onyx Strom fan, @yannareads, wrote on Goodreads: “THIS IS HANDS DOWN NOT ONLY THE BEST BOOK IN THE SERIES BY FAR, BUT THE BEST BOOK THAT I HAVE EVER READ.
"Rebecca DELIVERED with this one. The banter, the plot, the character development: 100/10. I read this all day, in one sitting and under 24 hours, and I literally might never read a book that can be on the same level as this.”. Another reader shared their love for the book by saying: “Binged this in a day. I’m so lost for words and gobsmacked. This was everything I wanted and more. Thanks for ripping me apart, Rebecca, and kind of putting me back together, then ripping my heart out again.”.
