Books by Rebecca Yarros
“If you liked the Harry Potter Series, you’ll love Fourth Wing. There are dragons, a ‘school’ setting in the form of a war college and a feisty heroine, Violet Sorrengail, who suffers from what Yarros has identified as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a connective tissue disorder which Yarros herself also has. Yarros’s husband served for the US army in the Iraq War where he was injured (they met when she was 19 and have 4 children together) so she writes about being a ‘soldier’ with particular passion. Violet, originally destined to become a library scribe like her deceased father, is enrolled to become a dragon rider by her mother, a feared general, and must overcome a number of physical and psychological challenges to survive. As well as being number one on the New York Times BestSeller list, Fourth Wing is also being made into an Amazon tv series so prepare to hear even more about this phenomenon.” Read more...
