Onyx Storm Read Along – Chapter 31
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. Oh, the beginning of this chapter is so delicious. At first, I honestly didn’t quite understand what was going on. But upon finishing the book, it’s revealed as a major Easter Egg.… Continue reading
Onyx Storm Read Along – Chapter 30
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 think the epigraph is SO important for us.“It is unwise to favor one god above another. Better to shun them all than show favoritism amongst a jealous, prodigious pantheon.” This passage… Continue reading
Onyx Storm Read Along – Chapter 29
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. The chapter begins with a paragraph from Asher’s journal about Unnbriel. At first, I thought, “It’s just giving us some information about the isle.” But then it got me thinking: blood is… Continue reading
Onyx Storm Theory: Who is actually missing at the end?
I read the last chapters over and over, to such an extent that I think I might be able to recite them back to you. I think maybe my job should have been that of a researcher or something similar, seeing as I love doing this for fun. The question in Onyx Stom is who… Continue reading
Onyx Storm: Xaden needs to hit the bottom rock to cure himself
This theory is brought to you by a lovely reader named Mirja Berner. To be fair, I think her theory is very good. Not long ago, I listened to a podcast about dopamine with Dr. Anna Lembke, where she explained that addiction, sadly, is the result of dopamine dysregulation. Now, Rebecca Yarros has ADHD—she said… Continue reading
Onyx Storm Theory: Dragons are connected to Gods. Messengers perhaps? Or a type of venin?
This has been quite the topic of conversation recently. In fact, in my last theory post about the relationship between dragons, gods, colors, and isles, I traced a pattern suggesting that each dragon corresponds to a “house,” so to speak. Almost like one color, one god. It makes sense, but there are still some holes… Continue reading
Onyx Storm Theory: The relation between Gods, dragons, and colors
You already know that I’m obsessed with the idea that somehow the Gods play a much more important role in the series than we initially thought. Please take a look at my original theories about the Gods, some ideas on why I thought Violet and Xaden are Gods, and, of course, the parallels between our… Continue reading
Onyx Storm Read Along – Chapter 28
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. The chapter opens with a rather interesting epigraph—commentary made by Asher Sorrengail in relation to the next isle, Unnbriel. It’s the isle of Dunne, and since Dunne is the Goddess of… Continue reading
Onyx Storm Read Along – Chapter 27
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. Captain Lilith Sorrengail sure knows the drill. Sometimes, diplomacy is best served at swordpoint. The Deverelli have been trading with Tecarus, Navarre, and even Tyrrendor—yet no one told them the truth:… Continue reading
Onyx Storm Read Along – Chapter 26
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. The chapter’s opening is chilling. Alright, we all hate venin, but they were conducting experiments on them? What were the results? Based on the epigraph, I assume there were two stages… Continue reading
