Rebecca Yarros Empyrean series It's no stranger to leaving out major revelations, from Violet's brother being alive to Khade's transformation into a vein. Most of these make sense in the context of the story, which makes them satisfying when they're finally revealed. However, not every major development The Fourth Wing and Iron Flame it feels earned, which is disappointing.
Onyx Storm It reveals that Yaros has less developed ability to fill in the blanksand there is one in particular that I hope appeals to. Of many surprises iron flame, The book's Jack Barlowe twist feels the most ridiculous. Maybe Yarros has a good reason to bring Violet's nemesis back into the lineup, but I'm not sold on that development yet. I hope so Onyx Storm It changes Jack by making sense of his unexpected and unwanted return.
