Guide to Onyx Storm Characters: Your key to Book 3

I wrote this guide to the Onyx Storm characters to help navigate the newest book. This current book has a plethora of characters- many of whom are introduced in this book with no explanation of who they are and how we should know them. Initially, I found many of the characters confusing and I wanted to make sure that other people reading the book could have more clarity than I did.

I won’t lie. The addition of so many new characters hindered my ability to read the book! I read Fourth Wing by author Rebecca Yarros in a day and a half. The second book, Iron Flame, took me a bit longer. Onyx Storm took me a few weeks! I wanted to be sure that all the information in my Onyx Storm character guide is clear and accurate. If you are looking for a Fourth Wing Summary or a Synopsis of Iron Flame, you can check out these posts for a quick refresher.

There are more than 90 characters in this book and I am not including them all in my Onyx Storm character list. That will be too confusing. I am including the characters who play a role in moving the plot forward. If a character becomes important in later books, I will add them to the list.

Onyx Storm Dragons

In Fourth Wing, Dragons develop their tails according to their needs and each type of dragon has special features. For example, Blue Dragons are known for their size, Green Dragons are intelligent, and Orange Dragons are the most unpredictable. Black Dragons, Like Tairn, are the rarest Dragons. There are 7 types of dragons: Red, Orange, Green, Blue, Black, and Brown and the seventh unknown dragon

What is the 7th Dragon Type?

Andarna’s kind is the Irids- short for Iridescent
