#RebeccaYarros shares that the audience response to chronic illness representation in "The Empyrean Series" has been "probably what's most touching". Yarros and her sons have #EhlersDanlosSyndrome, as does The Empyrean Series heroine Violet. "(Representation) was something I felt strongly about. And you don't see a lot of heroines with chronic illnesses, you know, on the bestseller lists," Yarros says. "I told my editor, 'I think I can do it justice without being a monolith.'"
