✶ ACOTAR Update: Sarah J. Maas Wraps Draft of Book Six ✶

Hey fae enthusiasts! The Prythian tea is piping hot this week—Sarah J. Maas has officially finished the first draft of A Court of Thorns and Roses Book Six, and the fandom is spiraling beautifully.

What We Know So Far

  • On July 11, 2025, Maas posted an Insta Reel showing her closing a notebook labeled “ACOTAR 6”, shutting her laptop, then popping a bottle of champagne—captioned “First drafts DONE.”

  • The notebook appeared to have more scrawled on it—maybe “6–8” or an arrow? This sparked widespread speculation: is this just book six… or the start of a new arc spanning Books 6–8?

What the Theories Say

  • Elain Archeron POV: Most teasers point toward Elain taking center stage next, especially after the heavy Nesta focus in Book Five (Silver Flames) and an appearance in House of Flame and Shadow.

  • Other fan-favorites like Azriel, Lucien, or Gwyn are also in the running for POV spotlight.

When Can We Expect It?

  • There's still no official release date, but fandom consensus leans toward late 2026 or early 2027, given the usual editing and publishing timelines (first draft complete mid‑2025).

  • Bloomsbury has remained quiet beyond the announcement, so watch this space for more updates!

Why This Matters

  • ACOTAR hits its 10th anniversary this year. Finishing Book Six feels like a major milestone.

  • Expanding into Books 6–8 hints that Maas is building a much deeper arc for her world (and for our beloved characters 🖤).

 What This Means for Us

  • We finally have confirmed progress after four years since Silver Flames (2021).

  • If Elain is the main POV, expect revelations about her mysterious powers and next-level relationships (hello, Azriel fans. *cough cough* me).

  • The potential 6–8 saga could open up new romantic arcs, deeper Faerie lore, and possibly even threads from Crescent City.

What Are You Hoping For?

  • Will Elain step fully into the spotlight?

  • Do you think we’re starting a multi-book arc?

  • And who else needs a POV. Azriel? Lucien? Mor?

Drop your predictions and caffeine-fueled excitement in the comments, and let’s get the ship wars started! Can’t wait for what’s next in Prythian—and I’m so glad you’re here to geek out with me! Next up: spoilers-free theories or maybe even a re‑read series of key moments. Stay tuned—and keep your Rhysand-branded mugs ready 😉

🖤 Book Review: Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer 🖤

  Book One of the Assistant and the Villain Series If you’re looking for a book that blends fantasy, banter, and just the right amount of villainous charm, Assistant to the Villain might just be your next obsession. This story follows Evie, a delightfully relatable heroine who finds herself working for—yes—a literal villain. And not just any villain. A brooding, masked, mysterious one. Think classic fantasy overlord with sharp edges... and surprisingly great taste in office help. Despite being told in third-person point of view ( which I don’t usually gravitate toward), I fell absolutely in love with this book. The voice, the pacing, and the quirky characters drew me in instantly. It’s got that whimsical, slightly chaotic energy reminiscent of The Princess Bride , especially with its clever humor and fairytale-gone-wrong atmosphere. What I Loved: Evie : She’s awkward, loyal, impulsive, and makes so many human mistakes that it honestly made the world feel more grounded. Wat...
