Onyx Storm

Empyrean, Book 3

De: Rebecca Yarros

Narrado por: Jasmin Walker, Justis Bolding, Teddy Hamilton, Rebecca Soler

After nearly eighteen months at Basgiath War College, Violet Sorrengail knows there’s no more time for lessons. No more time for uncertainty.

Because the battle has truly begun, and with enemies closing in from outside their walls and within their ranks, it’s impossible to know who to trust.

Now Violet must journey beyond the failing Aretian wards to seek allies from unfamiliar lands to stand with Navarre. The trip will test every bit of her wit, luck, and strength, but she will do anything to save what she loves—her dragons, her family, her home, and him.

Even if it means keeping a secret so big, it could destroy everything.

They need an army. They need power. They need magic. And they need the one thing only Violet can find—the truth.

But a storm is coming...and not everyone can survive its wrath.

The Empyrean series is best enjoyed in order.

I'm spoiled by graphic audio

Story is great but I've gotten too used to the graphic audio versions and I had a really hard time listening. Most of the time I couldn't tell which character was being portrayed.

BEST. BOOK. WORST. NARRATOR.

I absolutely LOVED this book I devoured it. I can’t stand Rebecca Soler’s nasal narration. Audiobooks should all be dual narration or read by a full cast, even if sound effects aren’t included. it is the year of our lord 2025,.. one person narrating so many people is just bonkers …. I can’t wait for the dramatized adaptations because it will be AMAZING.

A bit disappointed

So far book one was the best then book two was enough to keep you engaged and book 3 feels like it could have been summed up in a few chapters.

The story was okay. The narration seemed choppy at times like it was pieced together from several different sessions.

I really disliked the voice of Xaden in the Xaden POV chapter. It was way too far over the top. I expected every sentence to end with "bruh" and begin with giving instructions on how to roofie drinks at a college bar. Upon hearing the voice I immediately changed my perspective of Xaden from the love interest and hero of the story to creepy gym bro that hangs out around the girls freshman dorms. I'm now rooting for him to get killed off at some point, just from hearing that narration.

Rebecca!!!
