FIVE DAYS AGO I made a video calling out the way people have been treating Rebecca Yarros while she’s grieving the loss of her father. And here we are. AGAIN. Rebecca just shared that she buried her father five days ago and doesn’t know how returning to writing will affect her creativity. The fact that she even feels the need to explain this to readers is heartbreaking. I love Fourth Wing. I want Empyrean book four. But I am so fucking tired of watching authors get treated like their only purpose is to produce our next favorite book. There is a time and place to ask about release dates. An author’s grieving process is NOT IT. Rebecca deserves time, compassion, and privacy. Not another comment section filled with demands for book four. I said it five days ago, and I’ll say it again: LEAVE REBECCA YARROS ALONE. #RebeccaYarros #FourthWing #EmpyreanSeries #BookTok #OnyxStorm Rebecca Yarros, Fourth Wing book 4, Rebecca Yarros Instagram response, Rebecca Yarros grieving father, Empyrean series, Fourth Wing fans, author harassment, BookTok entitlement, Onyx Storm, Rebecca Yarros book four update, author boundaries
