can’t find a thread for these, excited because we now have the new two ACOTAR books. They will be A court of splintered harmony and A court of forgotten melody.
If you need a catch up:
THE MAASVERSE
Sarah J. Maas is the author of three fantasy series: Throne of Glass (TOG), A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR), and Crescent City (CC).
The three series began as separate stories and can be read independently, but they are ultimately connected. Fans refer to the wider shared universe as the Maasverse. The books contain recurring mythology, magical concepts, references and connections between worlds, with the links becoming increasingly apparent as the series progress.
Throne of Glass
8 books, complete
An epic fantasy series beginning with Celaena Sardothien, a young assassin offered her freedom if she competes to become the King’s Champion. What starts as a story about an assassin and a royal competition develops into a much larger story involving kingdoms, Fae, magic, ancient enemies and a battle for the fate of the world.
Main characters include Celaena/Aelin, Dorian, Chaol, Rowan, Manon, Lysandra, Aedion and Elide.
A Court of Thorns and Roses
5 books released, ongoing
A fantasy romance series beginning with Feyre Archeron, a human who is drawn into the world of the Fae after killing a creature in the woods.
The series centres around Feyre, the High Fae courts and the characters surrounding them, with later books expanding the focus to other members of the cast.
Main characters include Feyre, Rhysand, Nesta, Cassian, Azriel, Elain, Mor, Lucien and Tamlin.
ACOTAR 6 and 7 are forthcoming.
Crescent City
3 books, ongoing
An urban fantasy series set in the technologically advanced world of Midgard. It follows Bryce Quinlan, a half-Fae woman whose life changes following a devastating crime.
It combines traditional fantasy elements such as Fae, angels, witches and demons with a modern setting of cities, technology, phones, cars and politics.
Main characters include Bryce, Hunt, Ruhn, Danika, Ithan, Tharion and Lidia.
The Maasverse
The three series take place in different worlds, but those worlds exist within the same wider universe.
Connections between the books include:
The connections are particularly important in Crescent City, which makes the wider mythology of all three series much more significant.
A lot of the fun of the Maasverse is working out which details are deliberate connections, which are Easter eggs, and which are simply SJM reusing ideas.
The three worlds
Erilea: Throne of Glass
Prythian: ACOTAR
Midgard: Crescent City
They are separate worlds, but they are not entirely separate stories.
This thread is for discussion of all three series, Maasverse theories, character discussions, predictions, foreshadowing and general SJM chaos. Spoilers should be marked where appropriate.

Connections between the books include:
- Fae and other magical races
- ancient powers and mythology
- similar magical terminology
- references to other worlds
- portals and world-travelling
- recurring objects, symbols and concepts
- characters and events which become significant across series
The connections are particularly important in Crescent City, which makes the wider mythology of all three series much more significant.
A lot of the fun of the Maasverse is working out which details are deliberate connections, which are Easter eggs, and which are simply SJM reusing ideas.
