Bestselling author Sarah J. Maas has unveiled the release dates for two highly anticipated books in her popular romantasy series, “A Court of Thorns and Roses” (ACOTAR), after a five-year wait. During an interview on Alex Cooper’s “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Maas disclosed that the sequel to 2021’s “A Court of Silver Flames” is set to debut on October 27, followed by the seventh installment on January 12, 2027.
Maas described the forthcoming fantasy romance narrative, chronicling the journey of three sisters in a captivating yet perilous Fae realm, as a sprawling tale divided into four segments across three books. She emphasized that the narrative is intended to be consumed as one expansive story rather than a traditional trilogy.
With a remarkable track record that includes the best-selling “Crescent City” and “Throne of Glass” series, Maas has amassed a global readership exceeding 75 million books in 40 languages. Widely credited with popularizing the romantasy genre, Maas played a significant role in the surge of BookTok’s influence during the pandemic.
Acknowledging the prolonged anticipation for the sixth ACOTAR installment, Maas attributed the delayed release to personal challenges that needed to be addressed before embarking on the writing process. While remaining tight-lipped about specific details such as titles and cover designs, Maas hinted at the expansive nature of the narrative, prompting the division into three books due to its complexity.
Enthusiastic fans, eagerly awaiting the continuation of the saga involving Feyre, Nesta, Elain, and the enigmatic Night Court figures Rhysland, Cassian, and Azriel, expressed overwhelming joy upon learning the release dates. Social media platforms buzzed with excitement, with influencers and fans alike celebrating Maas’s upcoming literary offerings.
