Rebecca Yarros is the no. 1 Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author of over twenty novels including Fourth Wing and In the Likely Event, with multiple starred Publishers Weekly reviews and a Kirkus Best Book of the Year. She loves military heroes and has been blissfully married to hers for over twenty years. She's the mother of six children, and is currently surviving the teenage years with two of her four hockey-playing sons. When she's not writing, you can find her at the hockey rink or sneaking in some guitar time while guzzling coffee. She and her family live in Colorado with their stubborn English bulldogs, two feisty chinchillas, and a Maine Coon cat named Artemis, who rules them all. Having fostered then adopted their youngest daughter, Rebecca is passionate about helping children in the foster system through her nonprofit, One October, which she co-founded with her husband in 2019.

Disappointed
Hade kanske för höga förväntningar men boken var skriv i stil som var väldigt reminiscing av min tid på Wattpad. Huvudpersonen Violet skulle nog inte ens gilla kärleksintresset om hon inte var så kåt hela tiden. Drakarna var coola, men det är synd att en bokserie "där drakarna ska vara som huvudpersoner" och där drakarnas samhälle är namnet på hela serien och ändå får man knappt lära känna två. Borde varit mer skola för inget var egentligen relevant för en skola, skulle vara samma om de åkte på ett träningsläger och var samma när de åkte till en aktiv post. Hoppas nästa blir bättre!

Häftig romantasy
Fourth Wing är en spännande fantasyberättelse som även innehåller en het men besvärlig relation. Modernt språk gör att den känns levande och man följer huvudpersonen Violets utmaningar med andan i halsen. Svårt att släppa boken!
