Onyx Storm Theory: Venin can be killed by poison
I’ve been thinking quite a bit about how venin can be killed. You know that moment when you have far too many thoughts running in your head, making it almost impossible to express yourself or explain what on earth is going on? That is exactly how I feel about this theory, so please bear with… 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.

Onyx Storm Theory: Violet’s second signet is SO dangerous
Violet’s second signet kept us up for months. It manifested in Iron Flame, but we couldn’t figure it out for certain. Rebecca Yarros told us that it was made clear in one single sentence. The sentence she is referring to, I think, is one of these two: “The only warmth is a quickly cooling trickle… Continue reading
