The timing also shows Yarros’ range as a writer. While many readers associate her with dragons, war colleges and high-stakes fantasy romance, ‘Peculiar Stars’ appears to return to the emotional terrain that shaped much of her earlier romance work. Before ‘Fourth Wing’ became a global BookTok phenomenon, Yarros had already built a devoted readership through contemporary romance novels centred on grief, longing, loyalty and complicated love. The new book may therefore appeal not only to Empyrean fans, but also to readers who want to see her handle intimacy and survival without the armour of fantasy.
