Summary
Onyx Stormhas many interrogation to reply afterIron Flame ’s bombshell ending , butI go for thenextFourth Wingsequelalso fix the most ridiculousEmpyrean Seriesplot kink . Rebecca Yarros’Empyrean Seriesis no unknown to dropping major reveals , from Violet ’s comrade being alive to Xaden becoming a venin . Most of these make gumption within the context of the tale , and that makes them fulfil when they finally unfold . However , not every major development inFourth WingandIron Flamefeels realise , which is thwarting .
Onyx Stormhas the chance to fulfil in the blank of Yarros ' less highly-developed reveals , and there ’s one in particular I go for it addresses . Of the many surprises inIron Flame , the book ’s Jack Barlowe twist find the most absurd . Perhaps Yarros has a good reason for bringing Violet ’s nemesis back into the fold , but I ’m not sold on this ontogenesis just yet . I hopeOnyx Stormchanges that by make mother wit of Jack ’s unexpected — and undesirable — regaining .
Despite the many newcomers , there are a few established Fourth Wing side fictional character audience desire to see more of in the next book , Onyx Storm .

Iron Flame’s Jack Barlowe Twist Was The Empyrean Series' Most Ridiculous Yet
Resurrecting Jack After His Satisfying Fourth Wing Death Is Disappointing
Violet obliterate Jack is one of themost satisfying moments inFourth Wing , as she spends most of the firstEmpyreanbook avoiding opposition rather than stand up for herself . When Violet lash out in defense of Liam , it ’s a knock-down here and now for her character . deplorably , the impact of this scene is essentially undone whenIron Flamebrings Jack back from the dead . Keeping Jack alive — and break that he ’s a venin — feels like an queer option for theFourth Wingsequel . It is n’t by rights alluded to before it happens , and the implications of it are n’t fully explored .
The fact thatFourth Wingalso get one apparently numb character back to life story also makes this Jack twist feel somewhat repetitive . The end ofFourth Wingreveals that Violet ’s brother , Brennan , is still animated despite all signs pointing to the contrary . WithIron Flamecontaining a similar gimmick , it ’s embark on to palpate like the interest of Yarros ' man are n’t as high as they arrogate to be . certain , plenty of people drop dead in the romantasy series , but too many of the important ones fare back . I hopeOnyx Stormcan fix some of the issue with this Jack twist .
How Onyx Storm Can Fix The Jack Barlowe Twist
With so many issues surround Jack Barlowe ’s return , I ’m not fully sold on thisEmpyrean Seriestwist . However , Onyx Stormcan alter that by give Jack a bigger role in its history . AlthoughIron Flamereveals that Jack is animated and venin , it does n’t focus on this for very long . IfOnyx Flamedelves deeply into Jack ’s part , it could make sense of Yarros ' rationality for bringing him back . This will also allow the sequel to give a right account for Jack ’s current state . Iron Flameattempts to , but the lore behind this Jack twist could expend more unpacking .
Jack may get the chance to pay off himself by helping Xaden inOnyx Storm .
Onyx Stormcan also give Jack ’s return more meaning by have him interact with Xaden . Now that Xaden is venin , he ’ll no doubt face challenges adjusting to his new form . Jack is the only personViolet and Xadenknow who ’s undergone something exchangeable . uncalled-for to say , Jack may get the chance to deliver himself by help Xaden inOnyx violent storm . This would at least justifyIron Flamebringing him back , even if I ’m not thrilled with the execution .
