Despite the temperature being a chilly 17F, I went out today to my local indie bookstore.

Why? 

Because I needed to pick up my preordered copy of the deluxe edition of Onyx Storm, the third book in Rebecca Yarros’s The Empyrean series. Which is a fantasy series with dragons.

It’s so pretty! But the artwork on the sprayed edges makes the first two books in the series look very plain.

Now my big dilemma is whether to reread the first two books in the series before diving in.

Decisions. Decisions!
