Sarah J Maas has just revealed that she's got the next two thrilling installments of her smash-hit book series, A Court of Thorns and Roses (Acotar), ready to be unleashed upon the world. The eagerly anticipated sixth book in this "romantasy" series, set in the captivating courts of the fictional land of Prythian, will be published globally by Bloomsbury on October 27. And shortly after, the seventh installment will follow on January 12 next year. These books will continue the story from where A Court of Silver Flames left off, which was released in 2021.
Maas shared the exciting news on Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy podcast, revealing that she will be weaving one grand tale in four parts. Part one will be in Acotar 6, parts two and three in Acotar 7, and the fourth part will come later. She said, "The story that was finally ready to come out of me was huge – really, really, really huge."
"As I started writing this in Montana, an energy vortex, it came out of me in a way that surprised me," she shared. "I like to do parts – like part one, part two, part three – and by the time I got to the end of part one, it was 400 pages long." She added, "It’s meant to be read ideally as one massive, massive story as opposed to like in a trilogy."
"It’s not a trilogy. Arcs aren’t wrapped up. It’s like if you expand all of part one, all of part two, all parts, it would be huge like that. And so I just decided, I’ve never told a story that way. This is how it wants to come out," the author concluded.
It's worth mentioning that apart from Acotar, Sarah J Maas is also the author of the popular Throne of Glass and Crescent City series.
