As a devoted fan of Sarah J. Maas‘s captivating and intricately crafted worlds, I’ve spent countless hours immersing myself in the pages of her enchanting stories. Having recently discovered the allure of the Crescent City series, I found myself utterly captivated by its unique blend of mythology, romance, and adventure. However, I must admit that my journey into this mesmerizing universe was initially fraught with a sense of disorientation.
Many avid book readers consider Sarah J. Maas and her works as precious gifts, and with her upcoming projects, it seems that this literary treasure will keep on giving for years to come. Look forward to new releases in the “A Court of Thorns and Roses” series and the “Crescent City” series, along with a potential screen adaptation that could be nothing short of magnificent. Let’s delve into what lies ahead for these captivating collections.
The Next ACOTAR Book (A Court Of Thorns And Roses Book 5)
Sarah J. Maas’ widely acclaimed series includes A Court of Thorns and Roses (also known as ACOTAR). In this romantic fantasy, a young human woman named Feyre is drawn into the neighboring realm of Prythian, where the fae dwell in various courts. The fae world is far from tranquil, and Feyre gets entangled in its chaos, which encompasses danger, drama, romance, and beings with long histories, some good and others evil. The experience is both intense and captivating.
During an interview with Today in January 2024, Sarah J. Maas shared her plans for the future during a promotion event for “House of Flame and Shadow,” the third book in the Crescent City series. Excitingly, she announced that the next installment in the A Court of Thorns and Roses series was what she intended to work on next, and expressed her great eagerness about it. Her enthusiasm is certainly shared by many fans!
Now let’s get into the important questions:
Whose POV Will ACOTAR Book 5 focus on?
Ah, yes, this is the question of the hour. (Vague spoilers if you’re not caught up on ACOTAR through A Court of Silver Flames) While the first 3.5 books focused mostly on Feyre’s story, the fourth book in the series shifted gears significantly by taking us into Nesta’s corner of the drama. So it’s entirely fair to speculate that Elain would be the next POV to be explored in an upcoming ACOTAR book. Not only is she the only remaining Archeron sister not to be the center of a book in this series so far, but there’s also a lot that’s been set up around the middle Archeron sister that has yet to be explored in full.
To put it simply, we’re curious about Elain and I believe Maas holds the keys to our questions. However, it remains uncertain if Elain will be the primary focus of Book 5. The narrative could shift back to Feyre or zero in on another character instead.
What is the ACOTAR Book 5 release date and title?
As a passionate gamer and avid fan of the ACOTAR series, I can’t help but feel excited about the upcoming fifth installment. However, we don’t have a definite release date or title yet. In April 2024, Sarah J. Maas gave us a little sneak peek into her creative process through an Instagram post. She shared an enchanting image of a snow-covered forest landscape and wrote in the caption: “Working on some winter magic…” This post served as a reminder that the wait is worth it, and we’ll soon be transported back into the captivating world of ACOTAR.

The initial four and a half books in the sequence were released annually in May during the first three-and-a-half years. However, the publishing schedule shifted with the fourth book, which took more time to produce. As a result, an exact release date for Book 5 is uncertain, but it’s expected that it will be the next installment Maas puts out.
We’re just as thrilled about the upcoming fifth installment in the beloved romantic fantasy series as we are for news on the ACOTAR TV show. I can’t promise I’ll remain calm once details about this project begin to surface.
The ACOTAR Books In Order
As a passionate gamer and avid reader, I can’t help but recommend Sarah J. Maas’ A Court of Thorns and Roses series if you haven’t checked it out yet. Here’s the sequence to follow, including the release order of Book 3.5, which is a novella titled “The Fey Reign.”
- ACOTAR Book 1: A Court of Thorns and Roses (released May 2015)
- ACOTAR Book 2: A Court of Mist and Fury (released May 2016)
- ACOTAR Book 3: A Court of Wings and Ruin (released May 2017)
- ACOTAR Book 3.5: A Court of Frost and Starlight (novella released May 2018)
- ACOTAR Book 4: A Court of Silver Flames (released February 2021)
Crescent City Book 4
The third installment of the Crescent City series came out in early 2024, and the author, Maas, revealed in an interview with Today that she intends to write a fourth book. However, no release date has been announced yet. In her interview in January, Maas shared, “I plan to write a fourth Crescent City book.”
You’ll need to be patient for a moment as it’s currently parked at the airport taxing area… The details are still hazy, but I have a general sense of what I hope will transpire.
As a dedicated fan of Sarah J. Maas’ works and someone who has eagerly awaited each new release, I can’t help but be intrigued by the uncertainty surrounding the sequence of her upcoming books. The author herself mentioned that Crescent City Book 4’s position on her writing schedule is not yet clear – she stated this before disclosing that A Court of Thorns and Roses Book 5 would come next (which I’ll delve deeper into later).
In 2024, the latest release in Sarah J. Maas’ “House of Flame and Shadow” series set in Crescent City, introduces the character Bryce Quinlan, who is both fae and human. This captivating story takes place in the contemporary world of Midgard, where magic coexists with advanced technology and contemporary lifestyles. Similar to Maas’ previous work “ACOTAR,” this series blends fantasy, drama, romance, and chaos with an array of magical creatures. However, the setting of “House of Flame and Shadow” is noticeably more modern than that of “ACOTAR.”
In this series, the mood shifts as well. The initial instalment follows Bryce, a carefree yet deeply mourning young woman, on her quest to solve the mystery of her friend’s gruesome death at the hands of a demon. Her investigation leads her to encounter Hunt Athalar, an angel with a sinister past, making for a intriguing and ominous dynamic.
The Crescent City Books In Order
If you’re new to Sarah J. Maas and her Crescent City series, consider this suggestion: Instead of jumping into the first two books of Crescent City before reading most of the A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) series, I would recommend reading all of the ACOTAR books first. This is because the worlds and characters in Crescent City differ tonally from those in ACOTAR, and you may find yourself feeling overwhelmed if you read Crescent City before getting fully immersed in the ACOTAR series.
- Crescent City Book 1: House of Earth and Blood (released March 2020)
- Crescent City Book 2: House of Sky and Breath (released February 2022)
- Crescent City Book 3: House of Flame and Shadow (released January 2024)
Two Other Sarah J. Maas books planned
In an interview with Today conducted by Jenna Bush Hager, Sarah J. Maas was asked if she knew specifically what her upcoming project “Crescent City” referred to when she used the term “runway.” Maas then revealed…
As a gamer, I map out my strategy well in advance. I’ve already identified the next four writing projects I’m eager to tackle, so they’re just waiting in the wings for their turn.
During this interview, Maas reveals that she is currently working on ACOTAR Book 5 as her next project. Previously, she had announced Crescent City Book 4 was in the works as well. This implies Maas has at least two more projects in development, which could potentially be connected to her existing series or something new. With the expected length of these books, it’s clear that Maas is keeping herself busy with her writing for the foreseeable future.
Completed Series: Throne of Glass
ACOTAR and Crescent City are set for the release of new books each, whereas Maas’s beloved Throne of Glass series ended in 2018. Here is their suggested reading order: Start with “Throne of Glass,” published in 2012. After that, read “Crown of Midnight,” released in 2013. Don’t forget to check out “The Assassin’s Blade” (published in 2014), which is a collection of stories set before the Throne of Glass series events.
- Book 0: The Assassin’s Blade (A prequel collection of stories released in 2014)
- Book 1: Throne of Glass (released August 2012)
- Book 2: Crown of Midnight (released August 27, 2013)
- Book 3: Heir of Fire (released September 2014)
- Book 4: Queen of Shadows (release September 2015)
- Book 5: Empire of Storms (released September 6, 2016)
- Book 6: Tower of Dawn (released September 2017)
- Book 7: Kingdom of Ash (released October 2018)
As a fellow eager gamer waiting for new releases from Sarah J. Maas, I completely understand your restless foot-tapping. Trust me, I too have a towering To-Be-Read pile, but the anticipation of what’s next from this brilliant author keeps us on our toes. I promise to keep you informed as soon as any updates emerge about the continuation of her current series or any new projects Maas may be working on.
