If you’re not on TikTok – more specifically BookTok – you might not be familiar with the “romantasy” (romance and fantasy) genre. If you are, however, you’ll know it’s been near-impossible to escape Sarah J Maas’s series, A Court of Thorns and Roses (dubbed ACOTAR by its ardent fans).
While other book series in the genre have reached mainstream success, thanks to TikTok (think Rebecca Yarros’s Fourth Wing or Maas’s Crescent City), none have come close to the universal popularity of A Court of Thorns and Roses.
