Summary
There ’s a popular possibility about howOnyx Stormcan bring back Violet ’s dad , butI’m hopingthe nextEmpyrean Seriesbookdoesn’t repeat this familiar twist a third time . Rebecca Yarros’Empyrean Seriesisn’t afraid to shoot down off characters , something the author does frequently in bothFourth WingandIron Flame . However , The Empyrean Seriesis also getting a reputation for resurrecting characters — peculiarly one who are pretty significant to the overarching story . BothFourth WingandIron Flamedo this , convey in character who were previously thought to be dead .
The terminal ofFourth Wingreveals Violet ’s crony is alive , despite all grounds to the opposite , andIron FlameundoesFourth Wing’smost fulfill momentby convey Jack Barlowe back into the plication . These sort of twists are exciting once or doubly , but they are n’t somethingThe Empyrean Seriesshould make a habit of . And with thetheory that Violet ’s dad is also a venincirculating , I’m worriedOnyx Stormmight replicate the series ' Christ’s Resurrection trick a third time .
Despite the many entrant , there are a few established Fourth Wing side character audience desire to see more of in the next Bible , Onyx Storm .
I Hope Onyx Storm Doesn’t Repeat The Empyrean Series' Brennan & Jack Twists With Violet’s Dad
Doing So Would Feel Repetitive & Unsurprising After The First 2 Books
The theory that Violet ’s pa is a venin and still animated is a pretty popular one heading intoOnyx Storm , but I ’m hoping the book does n’t corroborate it . AfterThe Empyrean Series’Brennan and Jack twists , this number of consequence would n’t even be that surprising . In fact , have Violet ’s father come back to life would experience repetitious , with the coming continuation leaning heavily on a image that ’s rapidly becoming overuse . Iron Flame ’s endingproves that Yarros has a knack for surprising readers , and she should keep that going rather than reuse the same twist again .
At this point , it would be more surprising to keep Violet ’s Fatherhood bushed , turning the venin theory on its heading completely . Plus , Onyx Stormalready has to deal with two characters who are currently Venin : Xaden and Jack . Adding another to the list is unbelievable to supply much to the story , and it would leave Violet in crisis over two people she loves . Xaden ’s venin twist has enough of an impact without bringing Violet ’s father into it . It ’d be far more interesting to keep him alive through his enquiry only , and it would ensureThe Empyrean Seriesdoesn’t drop off its stakes .
The Empyrean Series Should Avoid Bringing Characters Back To Life Too Often
It Will Lower The Stakes Of Onyx Storm & Future Sequels
The other reasonOnyx Stormshould debar repeat the previous two Book ' twirl is that it will lower the bet of the series . This would be a shame , especially after everything Yarros has done to establish them . Fourth WingandIron Flameboth have major last at the end , and they feature no shortage of minor fictitious character death throughout their running play . If Yarros keeps play characters back , however , The Empyrean Series’world wo n’t feel as ruthless as it ’s made out to be . From what we ’ve seen so far , it pee sensation that Violet has deceased loved ace .
Death should feel final inOnyx Stormand futureFourth Wingsequels , with just a few characters managing to storm readers .
After all , the setting Yarros builds inThe Empyreanseries is life-threatening and unrelenting . The author reminds us of that at every turn , so she should n’t make bring back from the drained a frequent occurrence — even if it ’s as a venin . destruction should feel final inOnyx Stormand futureFourth Wingsequels , with just a few characters manage to surprise reviewer . If it encounter every Holy Writ , however , the stake will find diminished . It ’s not deserving lower the stakes for a twist involving Violet ’s pop , especially when he can still have a function inOnyx Stormposthumously .

Onyx Storm Doesn’t Need To Bring Violet’s Father Back To Give Him A Role In The Story
Mr. Sorrengail Can Still Impact The Plot Posthumously
Bringing Violet ’s founder back as a venin comes with all kinds of risks , and it ’s probably not deserving doing whenhe can still be involved inOnyx Stormfrom the grave . Violet ’s father has a inscrutable backstory , and we be intimate that he was a Scribe doing enquiry on Feathertails before his decease . There are plenty of ways to shape his background intoThe empyreal Series’overarching plot without bringing him back to life . In fact , his inquiry already keeps him involved in the main story , and it can uphold to do so going forward .
Onyx Stormhas plenty of questionsto answer surrounding Mr. Sorrengail ’s death , and there are better wrench it can drop as Violet unpacks her father ’s past times . expose a conspiracy behind his untimely death would keep Mr. Sorrengail ’s mien inOnyx Stormand its subsequence without resorting to Resurrection of Christ . It ’s potential Violet can discover some harsh truths about her mother ’s past times posthumously , too . There ’s no dearth of people celebrate secrets inThe Empyrean Series , and those will always outlive them .
Onyx Stormcomes out on January 21 , 2025 .
