Onyx Storm Takes Flight: A Phenomenal Success in 2024's Amazon Bestsellers

2024 saw a plethora of fantastic books, but one title unexpectedly soared to the top of Amazon's bestseller list: Onyx Storm, the latest installment in Rebecca Yarros's Empyrean series, released just this week. While perhaps unfamiliar to some, the series's initial book, Fourth Wing, propelled the author to stardom.

This success is largely attributed to the books' viral popularity on BookTok, mirroring the trajectory of Colleen Hoover's It Ends With Us, a BookTok sensation that dominated bestseller lists in 2022 and subsequently became a film.

Another contributing factor to the series' popularity is the explicit depiction of the protagonist's sexual encounters. This unexpected level of graphic detail transforms what initially appears as a typical young adult novel into a steamy epic fantasy romance. Dragons and romance? It's a winning combination.
