Exciting News for ACOTAR Fans
“The story that was finally ready to come out of me was big — really, really big,” said Sarah J. Maas, the bestselling author behind the popular ACOTAR series. Her announcement of the release dates for ACOTAR 6 and ACOTAR 7 has sent waves of excitement through the fan community, particularly among the superfans who have propelled the series to new heights on platforms like TikTok.
ACOTAR 6 is set to be released on October 27, 2026, followed closely by ACOTAR 7 on January 12, 2027. This marks a significant moment for fans, as the last book in the series, A Court of Silver Flames, was published in 2021. The upcoming story arc will be told in three parts, with a third unnamed book also in the works, promising a comprehensive narrative that Maas describes as “one massive, massive story as opposed to, like, in a trilogy.”
Maas has noted that the journey to complete these new installments has not been easy. “It took me a long time to write, just because there were enough things going on in my life that I had to sort through,” she shared. This admission resonates with many fans who have been eagerly awaiting new content for over five years.
The ACOTAR series, which celebrated its 10th anniversary in spring 2023, has sold over 75 million copies worldwide and has been translated into 40 languages. This remarkable success has not only solidified Maas’s place in the literary world but has also led to a significant surge in her publisher Bloomsbury’s shares, which jumped as much as 20 percent following the announcement of the new release dates.
Fans can expect part one of the new story to be around 400 pages long, providing ample content to delve into the intricate world Maas has created. The anticipation surrounding these upcoming releases is palpable, especially considering the series’ explosive popularity since the release of A Court of Silver Flames.
As the release dates approach, the excitement among the ACOTAR community is expected to grow, with many fans expressing their joy and anticipation on social media. Maas herself has indicated her enthusiasm, stating, “I’ve never been so f—ing happy in my life,” reflecting the deep connection she has with her readers and the world she has built.
With a new contract in place for four additional books in the ACOTAR series, fans can look forward to more adventures and stories in the future. The upcoming releases of ACOTAR 6 and ACOTAR 7 are not just milestones for Maas but also for the dedicated fanbase that has supported her journey throughout the years.
