25 Empyrean Series Memes to Give You a Much-Needed Mental Break from the Mayhem of Onyx Storm

The Empyrean Series by Rebecca Yarros has been absolutely soul-crushing so far, and I mean that in the best way possible. My best friend and I flew through the first two books faster than anything we've ever read in our lives before—complete with a nonstop stream of texts after every big scene. Like chapter 30 in Fourth Wing... IYKYK.

Now, the third book, Onyx Storm, is finally here, and getting a copy was straight-up mayhem. If you avoided the Target limited-edition circus, consider yourself one of the lucky ones. It was basically a Ticketmaster crash all over again. I just started reading the book, but based on everything I'm seeing on the internet, it's about to get wild. Does Violet get a second signet? What's going to happen to Xaden after the cliffhanger ending in Iron Flame? And apparently, we all need to emotionally prepare for chapter 33. Wish me luck—I don't think I'm ready.

If you didn't know what I was talking about when I mentioned about the Target mayhem earlier, do yourself a favor and look it up. Social media blew up with hilarious memes of fans trying to check out the second Onyx Storm dropped, only for the website to crash as it sold out in seconds. The fandom is intense—Rebecca Yarros better hope we like book three.
