Whether you’ve finally given in to your friends pestering you to read A Court of Thorns and Roses or you’ve been swept up in the hype around the series’ latest releases, chances are you’ve heard of best-selling author Sarah J Maas. Perhaps, like me, Maas has been on your mind since 2012 when she released her debut novel, Throne of Glass. Fourteen years on, Maas’ 16-strong romantasy line-up is somewhat of a worldwide phenomenon.
The author has proved especially popular with fans following a string of major ACOTAR announcements this year. In March, Maas appeared on Call Her Daddy and revealed that that she would be releasing instalments six, seven and eight of the ACOTAR series over two books (confusing, I know) in October 2026 and January 2027. These new releases are particularly exciting for long-term fans of the series (including myself), who’ve been waiting since 2021 to discover what happens next.
