The loss of Rebecca Yarros’Onyx Stormprovided lecturer with strong character ontogenesis , amatory stress , and plenty of comedic easement — but perhaps one of the best parts of the novel was dumbfound to know the tale through several character POVs . In her previous novels , Yarros has only compose from Violet ’s full stop of view , and on occasion has shared Xaden ’s in an end - of - book fillip chapter . However , Onyx Stormalso explores Rhiannon and Imogen ’s perspectives , and it ’s highly potential this is a style Yarros plans to go on infutureFourth Wingsequels .

Yarros has also been known to release fillip chapters in bicycle-built-for-two with an updated book release , as she did with Xaden forFourth Wing ’s paperback publication . But after an interview during Yarros’Onyx Stormbook hitch , it seems even more likely the source would view revisiting pastFourth Wingstorylines to provide reader with an all - new perspective . There are many characters I would make love to see feature in gravid detail , but the one character Yarros referred to during this interview with theFantasy Fangirls Podcast , is by far the skillful option .

Rebecca Yarros Said She’d Consider Writing A Ridoc & Aotrom Bonus Chapter

Reading Ridoc’s Threshing Experience In Fourth Wing Would Be Amazing

I recall I can confidently speak for most readers when I say thatRidoc and Aotrom ’s human relationship is one of the good section ofOnyx violent storm . While we never get to take in the narrative from Ridoc ’s perspective , it ’s absolved through their quippy dialogue and tantalize nature that the two have an incredibly playfulness and wholesome family relationship . And now thatRidoc ’s played a great part inOnyx violent storm , it ’s inevitable Yarros will admit his POV in a succeeding continuation . It also seems Yarros would even consider exhaust a bonus chapter recounting Ridoc and Aotrom ’s threshing story .

Violet ’s squad has had ridiculous destiny in The Empyrean Series , but Onyx Storm has potentially inclose the reason why with one theory about Ridoc .

This was revealed during Yarros ' interview with the Fantasy Fangirls Podcast on the last leg of herOnyx Stormbook tour , and when the duet asked if Yarros could share Ridoc and Aotrom ’s threshing story , the source tell she " would consider doing a bonus scene . " Without divulge too much information , Yarros also hint that their kinship was not love at first stack , and knowing how much the two persona love to prank one another , I can only imagine how helter-skelter their threshing story will turn out to be — but in the best path .

Their Threshing Story Is Likely As Unconventional As Their Relationship

If their one - sided bickering is anything to go by , their threshing tarradiddle is bound to be equally hilarious and incredibly unconventional . consider Aotrom was in attendance during Ridoc ’s squad ’s demonstration after the gantlet , Aotrom would have been secluded to Ridoc ’s joking personal manner and comedic one - liners during his manner of walking , which I remember could potentially be what initially drew Aotrom to search out Ridoc during threshing . However , Yarros indicates that it was not " love at first sight " for Aotrom and Ridoc , which get me desperate to bed what really occur between the two pranksters and how they became bonded to one another .

Their relationship kinetics had me express joy out aloud while read .

Onyx Stormis the first time Yarros explores the dynamics between Ridoc and his flying lizard in any great item , and their family relationship dynamics had me laughing out loudly while reading . During the " quest squad ’s " travels throughout the Isle Kingdoms , it is revealed thatRidoc and Aotrom have an on-going pranking challenger — one that had Ridoc dumping an intact pail of itchiness powder between Aotrom ’s back scales , and in revenge , Aotrom completely soaks Ridoc in ocean water system . I suspect their threshing story may have set up their prank behaviour , and I ca n’t wait to instruct how it all start .

Their Pranking Shows How Similar The Two Characters Are

In Yarros ' earlierEmpyrean Series novel , readers do not experience many other dragon - passenger relationships outside of Violet , Tairn , and Andarna . ButOnyx Storm ’s tale makes sure to expatiate upon this opus of the lore — feature not only Ridoc and Aotrom — but Rhiannon and Fierge ’s sassy banter , and Imogen and Glane ’s kill - tally rivalry . This element of the story helps readers dig the many unlike kinetics between a rider and their dragon . However , Ridoc and Aotrom ’s bond is plain even without Yarros have readers into Ridoc ’s POV , and therefore , their brain - to - judgement negotiation .

" Not fair ! " Ridoc wipes the drops from his eyes as Aotrom walks from the water up the beach and evaporate into the woods . " I ’m still winning . That does n’t count ! " he calls after his flying dragon . A pause , and he yells , " Because we ’re on a mission ! "

Instead , the duo ’s pranking serve as a window into their stiff adhesion . During the pursuance squad ’s travel throughout the Isle Kingdoms , every dragon and their passenger , apart from Violet , ca n’t speak with their dragons . While this does pretend Ridoc and Aotrom to an extent , it ’s obvious the two are so wonted to one another ’s actions that they can easily forestall the others ' needs . gratuitous to say , I think Ridoc and Aotrom ’s dragon - rider bond is one of the best , and I hope we get to see more of their relationship in anOnyx Stormsequel or incentive chapter .
