Not as good as the first book, and the ending wasn't as shocking to me as everyone said it would be. I thought what happened at the end was going to happen to Violet, not the other person, but still. I have a feeling Onyx Storm will annoy me now, and I'm not as excited about it.

An adventurous Sarah J Maas book but with dragons. 

I will give credit that Vi is sort of a relatable character, but the forced tension and scenes between her and Xaden were not for me. 

Book was certainly way too long as the plot fell flat and dry. Many scenes were very forced, overly dramatized, and/or drawn-out. Among theses were the spice, violence, and Vi and Xaden's messy romance. 

Also, no surprise, Andarna
is a special seventh dragon species (*wow*)

Andre gangen jeg leser denne, og ser så mange framover blikk som jeg ikke fikk med meg første gang.

Wheww wow that took legit forever to finish cause why was that so long! I liked that we jumped back into the action but sometimes I had the opposite problem from FW where there it took forever to get things going but here every chapter was some new twist and like “big event” happening that it felt too stuffed. Like I feel that some of the reveals could have been parsed out over the other books and so it wouldn’t have to be so much. But at the end of the day was I entertained? Hell yeah I had a blast especially now that I was familiar with the lore and characters. I loved the andarna and Xaden reveals (especially the end one??? WTF?!?!) and violet’s growth felt more fleshed out and less “chosen one” which I appreciated. I wish we got more with her actual squad/friendships beyond Xaden bc he rly just took her everywhere she really because one of those “my life is centric to my boyfriend” like EW!! Especially when violet herself didn’t want to be that girl 
Also I feel like for all that happened we got absolutely zero development from characters other than violet and Xaden like sure they aren’t as “important” but I would say ppl like Rhi or Ridoc or Mira or even the fliers are still worth getting into their own lives? We got really nice stuff in book 1 and I wish they weren’t tossed to the side to show how perfect Xaden is (which duh yeah he is but like I don’t need it whacked over my head 5000 times about how powerful they both are) anyways I’m obviously gonna read the next book when it’s out and I’m gonna still be an IF defender cause I may have been overwhelmed but I sure as hell wasn’t bored.
