"Amazon's 2024 Second Best-Seller: A Preorder Released This Week"

There were numerous standout books released last year, but the one that has captured the most attention on Amazon's best sellers list for 2024 is a recent addition to the Empyrean series: "Onyx Storm." This latest installment, released just this week, follows the viral success of the first book in the series, "Fourth Wing," penned by Rebecca Yarros. The series gained immense popularity through BookTok, a segment of TikTok dedicated to book discussions, where other romance novels, like Colleen Hoover's "It Ends With Us," also found fame and eventually inspired a movie in 2022.

Having read both "Fourth Wing" and "Iron Flame," I can attest that these novels are engrossing. They draw elements from beloved series like Harry Potter, Twilight, and the Inheritance Cycle, offering a familiar yet fresh reading experience.

Another key to their popularity is the explicit descriptions of the main character's sexual encounters. What starts as a typical young adult novel quickly escalates into a steamy epic fantasy romance, featuring dragons and intense romantic scenes, making it a compelling read for fans of the genre.
