There will be no mist and fury over this new ACOTAR update.

Sarah J. Maas has finally revealed the release date for the sixth installment in her A Court of Thorns and Roses romantasy series, the follow-up to 2021’s A Court of Silver Flames—as well as the seventh book on the way.

During her March 4 appearance on Alex Cooper‘s Call Her Daddy podcast, the author shared that the next novel in the franchise will hit shelves on Oct. 27, while ACOTAR 7 will come out Jan. 12. 

While she has yet to share the official titles, Sarah noted their stories will be closely connected and therefore released “within a very short span.”

“It’s just the story that was finally ready to come out of me was big—really, really, really big,” she explained. “And as I started writing this in, like, Montana, like energy vortex, it came out of me in a way that surprised me. I like to do like parts—like part one, part two, part three—by the time I got to the end of part one, it was like 400 pages long.”

Sarah said it will be one big story told in four parts, with part one being ACOTAR 6, parts two and three being ACOTAR 7 and then a fourth part coming later. 

“Those were really f–king long,” she noted, “then part four has yet to be written because right now I’m trying to just get part one [out].”
