The Amazon 2024 Bestseller List: A Surprising Top Performer
2024 saw many excellent book releases, but the biggest surprise on Amazon's bestseller list is a title that launched just this week: Onyx Storm, the latest installment in Rebecca Yarros's Empyrean series.
If you're unfamiliar with the series, you've likely heard of its predecessor, Fourth Wing. The series's popularity largely stems from its viral success on BookTok, a trend mirroring that of Colleen Hoover's It Ends With Us, a 2022 bestseller that also transitioned to film.
Why the Empyrean Series's Explosive Popularity?

Fourth Wing and Iron Flame are captivating reads, blending familiar elements of Harry Potter (in its magical world-building), Twilight (in its romance), and Inheritance Cycle (in its dragons). The result is a unique blend of the familiar and the fresh.
Another factor contributing to the series's appeal is its explicit depiction of the protagonist's sexual encounters. What begins as a typical young adult novel quickly transitions into a steamy narrative that maintains its intensity. Essentially, it's epic fantasy romance with dragons and mature themes—a winning combination for many readers.
