I ordered the three books in the Empyrean (Fourth Wing) series just this morning only to discover this afternoon that the author, Rebecca Yarros, shared a "protect trans kids" post to her 1.2 million Instagram followers.
Obviously I was disappointed but it's not the first time I've seen a public figure support this nonsense. Her colorful hair should have been a dead giveaway.
This left me wondering whether I should cancel my order? It's not like I'm a loyal fan. I've never read any of her other books, but all the hype around Onyx Storm made me curious about this series. What would you do?
Are you team "separate the art from the artist" or team "boycott anyone who uses their platform to further an ideology that harms women and girls"?
