Onyx Storm - by Rebecca Yarros (Hardcover)

Another 5-Star read.

Gosh! What a great read!! It will be hard to wait for the next book, but RY left us with so much to think about!!

I had this pre-ordered with Amazon for months and they continued to require me to validate my request. Then canceled my order. After that, I ordered from Barnes & Noble, but shipping was like nine days and there was no guarantee it was in stock. Target for the wind they said they had it and they shipped it and delivered it when they said they would.

“To the ones who don’t run with the popular crowd, the ones who get caught reading under their desks, the ones who feel like they never get invited, included, or represented. Get your leathers. We have dragons to ride.” Rebecca Yarros did what she does best…she played my emotions like a fiddle. Way more tears were shed over this book than I was expecting. No one is safe! While this book was a massive information and character dump, it was SO good. The first 40% was chocked full of information and new people, but from then on the story was moving and unpredictable! I had so many moments I gasped and where I was shocked to find an answer, only find a new question! And can we talk about Ridoc? He was the comedic relief and the heart of this book! Protect him at all costs! “I’m either completely in love with your boyfriend or utterly terrified of him,” Ridoc says under his breath. “Not sure at the moment.” “Both,” Cat answers from his left. “You can be both. Trust me.” By far my favorite book in the Empyrean series. If an author and tug my emotions so much I’m crying over people AND dragons, I’ve got some serious respect for her writing. “I. Can’t. Kill. Him. I could no more raise a blade to his throat than I could Violet. The bond between Violence and me is the kind of magic that has no explanation.” How are we going to survive the wait till the next book!?

Love Rebecca Yarros - my rating is for Target!! I purchased & preordered my book in November, the release date was 1/21 and it’s 1/28 and still NO BOOK!!! Never preordering from Target again!! All preorders from Amazon and Barnes & Noble have always arrived on or just before the book release date. This is just so frustrating & inconsiderate Target.

Hey, guess what Target. Some people don’t buy physical copies of books to read. They buy them to display on their bookshelves. It’s bad enough that you put the ugly stickers all over them, but when you deliver them across the country in a PAPER BAG, and they get damaged, it’s EXTREMELY frustrating.

I did not receive the special edition that I preordered in November

I can’t say enough good things about this series. 10/10 recommend!

What. A. Wild. Ride. Book 3 in the Empyrean series, finished the book 3 days ago and am still trying to process it and theorize what’s next and what every clue means especially that freaking ending!! *Cue internal screaming* I loved it even though I feel sucker punched - in the best way of course 🤯😅 What you’ll get in the Empyrean series: 🐉 war college 🐉 dragons (duh) 🐉 brutal trials 🐉 secrets and cover ups 🐉 rebellion 🐉 romance and spice 🐉 plot twists 🐉 wars 🐉 high stakes 🐉 world building & lore 🐉 secrets upon secrets What you’ll feel reading the series: 😳😟😨😁🤭😱💀🔥🥰🥵🫣🫨👀🤯

I was very disappointed with the book I received. The cover has a packing sticker attached to it that can't be removed. It looks like someone tried to remove it and realized they couldn't remove it and stopped. The jacket is completely ruined. I tried to take a picture and the app wouldn't let me. I will not order another book from Target.

My book is missing pages! 😭

This is a wonderfully fun and emotional book series so 5 stars for Rebecca! If you enjoy adventure and romance, this book series is for you! Rebecca knocks it out of the park everytime! The product itself is beautiful and will look wonderful on my bookshelf. Can't wait to collect the next books in the series! Please note, some of the low star ratings are a result of Target's order experience and not a reflection on the book or its contents. The book community is upset by this but product reviews can be about the product itself or a person's order experience so the customers did nothing wrong by posting a bad review on their order experience. Recommendation: My recommendation to Target is to change their pre-order process to allow the ability to ship and pickup in store. This would allow everyone who pre-orders to reserve their copy and pick it up same day/in store. This would ensure no one gets their copy too early OR too late while ensuring there is enough supply for those who did not have an opportunity to pre-order. I hope Target takes the launch of this book as a lesson to better handle pre orders in the future.

Absolutely the best series I have ever read and I just started it like three days ago and already finished everything. I’m not sleeping tonight until I finish this book.

So so good. Genuinely love this series so much and Rebecca grows more and more in each book

Target is a piece of work. Dont pre order books through them. They take your money and keep pushing back the delivery date yet will order books and put them on the shelves for more sales before sending out books paid for half a year ago.

Thank you to the nice woman at Target for putting these out so early in the morning! I didn’t really care for the limited edition I just really wanted to read the book. 💚💚💚

How do you pre-order Onyx Storm in November, release date is January 21st; on January 21st you get a message from Target saying your pre-ordered book is now on BACKORDER and you're not getting it til February!!

AMAZING!!! Please read it :).
