Onyx Storm Read Along – Chapter 15
It goes without saying that THERE ARE MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD. If you haven’t read this chapter of Onyx Storm, please go read it first. Chapter 15 opens with Xaden Riorson welcoming everyone to Signet Sparring. It’s cute. We also learn about a very complex set of wards, which I wonder if it’s going to come… Continue reading
Onyx Storm Read Along – Chapter 14
It goes without saying that THERE ARE MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD. If you haven’t read this chapter of Onyx Storm, please go read it first. Chapter 14 opens with a clear explanation as to why Violet made that comment that her relationship with Xaden just ended. Gosh, Rebecca Yarros knows how to do a cliffhanger even… Continue reading
Onyx Storm Read Along – Chapter 13
It goes without saying that THERE ARE MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD. If you haven’t read this chapter of Onyx Storm, please go read it first. I was wondering when we were going to learn what happened to Jesinia, and woah, Markham is gruesome. She has been removed from her adept path. What we do know, however,… Continue reading
Onyx Storm Read Along – Chapter 12
It goes without saying that THERE ARE MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD. If you haven’t read this chapter of Onyx Storm, please go read it first. As expected, the chapter opens with a touch of intimacy between Xaden and Violet, along with some new nuggets of information. Sgaeyl sensed that Tairn was in danger (and with that, Violet too).… Continue reading
Onyx Storm Read Along – Chapter 11
It goes without saying that THERE ARE MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD. If you haven’t read this chapter of Onyx Storm, please go read it first. It’s fair to say that Chapter 10 has so much going on—a lot of new information and a lot of Easter eggs, as we discussed. I don’t know about you, but… Continue reading
Onyx Storm Theory: How to get Xaden’s soul back
While reading Onyx Storm again (I know, third time already), I started thinking of all the possible ways we can get Xaden’s soul back. I already mentioned in my previous theory that I think Violet will have to differentiate between Xaden’s shadows to get to him, but how can we possibly get his soul back?… Continue reading
Onyx Storm Theory: Are the dragons evil?
Rebecca Yarros has woven a complex and intricate world in The Empyrean Series, filled with powerful dragons, morally gray conflicts, and hidden truths about magic. While dragons are seen as the righteous force against venin, are they truly as noble as they seem? Could it be that they, too, have their own dark history? Let’s… Continue reading
Onyx Storm Theory: Who exactly is Berwyn
It’s natural to ask: who exactly is Berwyn? Is he the Sage? Is he a general? Is there even a difference between a Sage and a general? Why is he so fixated on Xaden and Violet? And why does he want to kill dragons rather than use them for magic? I’m going to attempt to… Continue reading

Rebecca Yarros has been touring for Onyx Storm, and she’s been kind enough to answer some of our most burning questions. I’m trying to collect as many of the questions and answers as I can and have them all in one space for you to muse over. Obviously, Rebecca Yarros is wonderful, and she’s been… Continue reading
Onyx Storm Theory – Violet will find Xaden (he taught her how)
It comes as no surprise that the ending of Onyx Storm rattled us all. Don’t get me wrong, I love the series, but after waiting more than a year to get some answers about Xaden, things are only getting worse. And no doubt, they will get even darker (AND WORSE) in Book 4. How are… Continue reading
