Author Sarah J. Maas announced that two new books in the A Court of Thorns and Roses series are set to be released. The wait for a new ACOTAR novel has been since the 2021 release of A Court of Silver Flames.
Book six of the ACOTAR series will be released in October, while book seven will be released in January. ' She added, 'It took me a while to find the right story and find the right headspace. ' The exact titles of the new ACOTAR books, referred to as book six and book seven, have not been revealed.
Maas has revealed little about what the books will entail, leaving fans to speculate on the specific plot or storylines. Bloomsbury Publishing confirmed that the new books will have more 'romance, danger and intrigue' for fans. The ACOTAR franchise has sold 38 million novels since its debut over 11 years ago.
It's always fun when a fantasy book becomes so big with different genre readers and even people who don't consider themselves readers. I think ACOTAR has brought a lot of people together.
The series has become a huge hit on BookTok, with the TikTok community championing the novels. Amy Ashman Carter, known as GeminiBookish on TikTok, said, 'I'm really excited. ' Whether there will be crossover characters from Maas' other franchises like Throne of Glass or Crescent City in the new books remains unknown.
' How the new books will expand or change the 'SJM universe' as mentioned by fans is not yet clear. Carter said the series has been 'a good stepping stone into fantasy' for those who grew up on books like Twilight. She noted, 'It has the same bingeable quality as books we grew up with, like The Hunger Games and Divergent, but in a more adult setting because there's smut in it.
The way SJM writes is totally addictive and unputdownable. ' Carter also said, 'It's always fun when a fantasy book becomes so big with different genre readers and even people who don't consider themselves readers. ' A Court of Thorns and Roses 6 will be released on 27 October this year, and A Court of Thorns and Roses 7 will be released on 12 January.
Some media reports have alleged that the ACOTAR series has become a global phenomenon over the last few years, putting it on track to be the next Harry Potter. The total number of books planned for the ACOTAR series beyond the two announced has not been disclosed.
