As summer approaches, the literary world is abuzz with anticipation for the upcoming releases of 2026. Among the most eagerly awaited titles is the sixth installment in Sarah J. Maas’ A Court of Thorns and Roses series. What sets this book apart is not just its mysterious title, but the fact that it has already captured the hearts of fans despite lacking a name or even a synopsis. Maas recently announced on the “Call Me Daddy” podcast that not one, but two ACOTAR books are in the works, with the first scheduled for release in October 2026.
While the untitled book may currently be at the bottom of Goodreads users’ most anticipated list, this is simply due to its later release date. The list is organized by release date, with other romantasy titles like The Exquisite Torment of Loving Your Enemy by Brigitte Knightly garnering attention as well, set for release on July 7, 2026.
Maas’ ability to cultivate a devoted fanbase is evident in the excitement surrounding the upcoming book, despite the lack of a title, blurb, or cover reveal. Fans have been eagerly anticipating a new addition to the series since the release of A Court of Silver Flames in 2021, making the announcement of two new books within months of each other a rare treat.
The sixth book in the series is scheduled for release on October 27, 2026, followed by the seventh on January 12, 2027. As fans eagerly await these new installments, discussions are already circulating about potential plot developments, including the possible romances between characters like Azriel and Elaine or Azriel and Gwynriel.
Overall, the anticipation surrounding the upcoming ACOTAR books is a testament to Maas’ storytelling prowess and the enduring appeal of the series. Fans are eagerly counting down the days until they can immerse themselves once again in the magical world of Prythian.
