Amazon's 2024 Blockbuster Released Today

The runaway success of Rebecca Yarros's Onyx Storm, the latest installment in the Empyrean series, has taken the Amazon 2024 best-seller list by storm, despite its recent release. While the book's popularity is undeniably fueled by its BookTok virality—mirroring the success of Colleen Hoover's It Ends With Us—its inherent appeal is equally significant.

Building on the foundation laid by Fourth Wing, the series blends familiar elements from beloved franchises. Readers find echoes of Harry Potter in the plot, the romance of Twilight, and the dragon lore reminiscent of Inheritance Cycle. This sense of familiarity, coupled with a fresh narrative, creates a unique and captivating reading experience.
