The 2024 Amazon Bestsellers List was dominated by a book that didn't even release until this week: Onyx Storm, the latest installment in Rebecca Yarros's Empyrean series. While many are familiar with the series' breakout success, thanks to Fourth Wing's viral BookTok fame, the question remains: what fuels this phenomenal popularity?
The series' success isn't solely attributable to TikTok. The plot itself, a blend of familiar yet fresh elements—Harry Potter-esque magical elements, Twilight-style romance, and Inheritance Cycle-inspired dragons—creates an instantly engaging narrative. The books are undeniably captivating page-turners.
Another contributing factor is the explicit depiction of the protagonist's sexual encounters. This unexpected level of graphic detail in what initially appears as a young adult novel adds a unique dimension, transforming it into a steamy epic fantasy romance. Dragons and romance? A winning combination for many readers.
