Exciting News for ACOTAR Fans
“It took me a while to find the right story and find the right headspace,” said Sarah J. Maas, the acclaimed author of the ACOTAR series, during a recent announcement. This statement marks a significant moment for fans who have been eagerly awaiting new content from the series, as it has been five years since the last book was released.
Upcoming Releases
Maas revealed that two new books, ACOTAR 6 and ACOTAR 7, are set to be released on October 27, 2026, and January 12, 2027, respectively. These upcoming installments will be part of one large story told across three books, a departure from the traditional trilogy format. “It’s meant to be read ideally as one massive, massive story as opposed to like in a trilogy,” Maas explained, indicating a more expansive narrative approach.
The Journey of the Series
The first book in the ACOTAR series, A Court of Thorns and Roses, was published in 2015 and has since sold an impressive 38 million novels worldwide. The series has become a global phenomenon, particularly popular on platforms like BookTok, where it has garnered a dedicated fanbase. The last book released prior to the upcoming titles was A Court of Silver Flames in 2021, leaving fans in anticipation for the next chapter.
Creative Process and Future Plans
Maas shared that the story for the new books flowed out of her quickly once she found the right mindset. “This is how it wants to come out,” she stated, reflecting her enthusiasm for the narrative she has crafted. In addition to the two new ACOTAR books, Maas has signed a new deal with Bloomsbury Publishing to add four more books to her existing contract, indicating a bright future for her literary endeavors.
Community Excitement
Fans are already buzzing with excitement about the upcoming releases. Amber-Rose Cooper, a prominent figure in the book community, expressed her anticipation, stating, “I cannot wait for all the hype surrounding these new releases.” This sentiment is echoed by countless readers who have followed the series since its inception.
The ACOTAR series continues to captivate audiences with its blend of romance and fantasy, often referred to as ‘romantasy.’ As the release dates for the new books approach, fans are left to wonder how the story will evolve and what new adventures await their beloved characters.
