The 2024 Amazon Bestsellers List was dominated by a book that didn't even release until this week: Onyx Storm, the latest installment in Rebecca Yarros's Empyrean series. While this might seem surprising, its success builds on the phenomenal popularity of the series's first book, Fourth Wing.
The series's viral ascent is largely attributed to BookTok, a corner of TikTok that has previously launched other romance novels into the stratosphere, most notably Colleen Hoover's It Ends With Us. However, the books' inherent appeal also contributed significantly to their success.
