When Dragons Became the Year’s Biggest Obsession

This episode reviews Onyx Storm not only as the third book in Rebecca Yarros’s wildly popular Empyrean series, but as one of the biggest reading events of 2025. It looks at how dragons, romance, war, loyalty, fandom, cliffhangers, and BookTok energy turned a fantasy sequel into a cultural moment. In three minutes, the episode asks why this book felt less like a quiet release and more like a midnight storm readers wanted to stand inside.
