Amazon's Pre-Order Success: Top-Seller Unveiled
The 2024 Amazon Bestseller 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 many are familiar with the series' breakout hit, Fourth Wing, the books' success is largely attributed to their viral popularity on BookTok. This platform has previously launched other romance novels to bestseller status, most notably Colleen Hoover's It Ends With Us.

The novels blend familiar elements from popular series like Harry Potter (in its magical world-building), Twilight (in its romance), and Inheritance Cycle (in its dragon element), creating a unique yet comfortable reading experience.
Another key factor is the explicit depiction of the protagonist's sexual encounters. This unexpected level of mature content adds a layer of intrigue to what initially appears as a standard young adult fantasy. The combination of epic fantasy, romance, and explicit scenes clearly resonated with a large audience.
