About the Author (Sarah J. Maas)
Sarah Janet Maas, known as Sarah J. Maas (born March 5, 1986) is an American fantasy author known for her fantasy series Throne of Glass, A Court of Thorns and Roses, and Crescent City. As of 2024, she has sold nearly 40 million copies of her books and her work has been translated into 38 languages.
Sarah Janet Maas began writing what would become her debut novel, Throne of Glass, at age sixteen. After writing several chapters of the novel, then titled Queen of Glass, Maas posted them on FictionPress.com, where it became one of the most popular stories on the site. It was later removed from the site when Maas decided to publish the novel. The story line of the series is based on the story of Cinderella, with the premise of “What if Cinderella was not a servant, but an assassin? And what if she didn’t attend the ball to meet the prince, but to kill him, instead?” In 2008, Maas started sending the story to agents before signing with Tamar Rydzinski of The Laura Dial Literary Agency in 2009. Throne of Glass was purchased in March 2010 by Bloomsbury, who later purchased two additional books in the series. The series is available in 15 countries and 35 languages. While four prequel novellas set two years before the first novel were also published, these were later condensed into one book, The Assassin’s Blade plus an original novella. The second book of the series, Crown of Midnight was a New York Times young adult best-seller. The final book in the series, Kingdom of Ash, was released on October 23, 2018; the finished series comprised seven books plus the novella collection.
A Court of Thorns and Roses, Maas’ second fantasy series, is a loose retelling of the traditional Beauty and the Beast. The first book of the trilogy was written in 2009, but was not published until 2015. Due to the success and popularity of the original series, it was extended and a spin-off series was announced which would feature stories of other popular characters. The fifth book in the series and the first of the spin-offs, A Court of Silver Flames, was published on February 16, 2021.
On May 16, 2018, Maas announced her first adult fantasy series, Crescent City. The first book, titled House of Earth and Blood, was released by Bloomsbury on March 3, 2020. It was ranked one of the top twenty Science Fiction & Fantasy books of 2020 on Kobo. The sequel, House of Sky and Breath, was released on February 15, 2022 and won the Best Fantasy award for Goodreads Choice Awards in 2022. The third installation of the series, House of Flame and Shadow, was released on January 30th 2024.
The A Court of Thorns and Roses series was announced to be adapted into a television series for Hulu in 2021. In an interview with The New York Times, Maas confirmed that she was developing the project with the writers and the showrunner as executive producer.
In May 2023, The Verge reported that the cover of the UK edition of House of Earth and Blood uses an AI-generated image.
The banning of many is her books in Utah public schools has led to a surge in their popularity.

1. MIROU reviews for A Court of Wings and Ruin
I’m wrecked. Because a Court of Wings and Ruin was the BEST CONCLUSION I could ever hope for.
I want to shout THANK YOU SJM for this incredible adventure. Thank you for letting us dream and travel across the stars if only for a short time.
I have been a massive fan of the ACOTAR series since the first book so I was highly anticipating ACOWAR. I was afraid I wouldn’t like the third book as much as I loved the second one but hell, I was so wrong. I swear, I don’t know how many nerve cells this book cost me.
Not only is the book thrilling and well-written. But it added a lot more complexity than I’d expected. Both in the characters and the plot. The progression brings about so many new faces (Have five to Helion, my second favourite High Lord), each of them unique in their own way.
When Feyre was in the Spring Court, she was so over-powered like she is a goodness and no one can stop her – I was getting some unwanted Aelin’s vibe here – but the plot was pretty well-driven after that, allowing each character to have its share of glory in Hybern Battle. And thank god for incredible plot twists or else I would have died a thousand times.
The other thing that I really enjoyed is the fact that the book was unpredictable. I got all emotional because the story has a way of being built up and simply torn down piece by piece by a certain event and you are like “What the hell just happened?” and then being rebuilt once again.
I literally went mental in one of the last scene – YES, THIS SCENE – my parents were actually concerned because of my change of emotions. I cried during the emotional moments, I got stressed during the battle scenes, I laughed so hard in others, I blushed during the bold sexy scenes, but most of all, I had – and still have believe me – embarrassing fangirling moments over the characters.
I have a lot of favourite scenes. Like a lot especially those where a potential couple interact – You should have seen me during NESSIAN SCENES, I was a FANGIRL MONSTER – but one scene particular brought me to tear and that was RHYS’s SPEECH BEFORE the FINAL BATTLE.
Overall, it was an EPIC BOOK closing an AMAZING trilogy with immensely ENTERTAINING STORYLINE, characters TO LOVE and a DETAILED fantasy WORLD.
Very much worth your time.
What are you waiting for?
2. KHURRAM reviews for A Court of Wings and Ruin
Words fail me. I have always been more of a fan of Sarah J Mass fan, but more towards her Thrown of Glass series. I think this is her best book so far. This book just has everything. Great characters, great story, secrets, betrayal, redemptions, ACTION!!!! You name it, it is here. 700 pages and not a line wasted. Hell, I would have been happy with another 700 pages of this standard. The character are great, but there is such great character development that no one is one dimensional the character are conflicted and complex with their own strengths and issues. Every time I learned something about one of the characters, I wanted to know more. Every character had their moment to shine in this book, and every character in this book could very easily star in their own book. That is the depth of the character in this story. Espicallly Rhysand, and anyone in the Court of Dreams.
Since the last book, Feyre has returned to the Spring Court to destroy it from within. This is not Feyre crushed by her truma, suffocated by overprotection, or the powerless girl in a world of monsters/guardians. This is the angry, powerful, deadly calculating woman. I like the fact that Rhysand is every bit her match. I am actually interested to see which of them is the more powerful. So far, with centuries of experience behind battle, tactics, and studies, he seems to be a step ahead, but time will tell. However even with all this going on War is coming to Prythian and with all the High Lords in agreement (with their history of grudges and betrayal this is next to impossible ), they are still way out numbered against the King of Hybern and the power of the Calderon. Once again, it falls to the Court of Dreams to lead the charge not only against their enemies but the very thinking of many Prythians as well.
This is just an awesome book. I don’t think you have to read the other book in the series to love this book, but I would definitely recommend reading the whole series, but I definitely read this one. The more I read, the more I wanted to read. It took me through every emotion, the anger of betrayal, the pride in overcoming adversity, to the election of victory. I honestly do not think SJM could fit anything more into this many pages. Let’s see if she can do 1000 pages of this standard.
3. ALI GOODWIN reviews for A Court of Wings and Ruin
I think this might be my favorite book in the series so far! I loved the romance plot in the second book but I LOVED the politics in this book. I found it so interesting. I wasn’t bored for a second in this book
4. CLACE reviews for A Court of Wings and Ruin
4.75!
“Night Triumphant- and the Stars Eternal.”
I might be in the minority here but I liked ACOWAR more than ACOMAF but this has only happened during this reread before this reread the four times that I read this series I always preferred ACOMAF maybe because I loved the romance but reading this now really made me appreciate the plot and the politics in this book. This book was exactly 700 pages long and 700 pages have never felt this short because I actually flew through them and despite rereading this series every year there were still moments where I forgot certain things happen and the plot twists surprised me as well, the way it was written made it very easy to read a 700 paged book.
“I see all of you, Rhys. And there is not one part that I do not love with everything I am.”
Feyre I feel like Feyre is very underrated, her cunningness is overshadowed a lot by the fandom because of how compassionate she is because in this because people really rave about how cunning she was and how she made a fool out of the spring court and hey, believe me I loved that scene to probably me best part in this book but then I looked back and saw that Feyre has always been this clever and she made it till this book because of how smart she was and I just feel like its very underappreciated. I love her.
“You do not fear… You do not falter. You do not yield.”
Rhysand I really like Rhys’s character bur he is probably my least favorite bat boy lol. I liked him, he made rash decisions some I understood, some I did not but in the end it all worked out well. I love how cocky he was and how he presented himself with this calm composure and IDGAF attitude and I also like how he was actually nice and not a total bitch, how he helped everyone and would do anything for the people he loved. The romance between Feyre and Rhys was good as well and I liked how well it was managed in the span of three books.
“We’re all a broken, in our own ways – In places no one might see.”
The Inner Circle Amren as always was the character I loved and my heart was beating so fast during those final pages because if ykyk, Cassian, him and Nesta in this book ATE and I loved him. Mor, I was justice for her, I need answers, I love her but I also want to know more about her because we only know bits and pieces about her past and nothing more and finally Azriel, I love that man so much, everything that he said and did was beautiful.
“Only you can decide what breaks you, Cursebreaker. Only you.”
I think the plot, the entire build up and how it all paid off was really well done and the action sequences were also detailed and really well written, The court intrigue was also something I appreciated. Especially that highlords meeting (prolly my favorite scene) and the bargains that were made, the satisfying endings that we got, the reunions and all of the massive forces aligning together with twists that you won’t see coming and it was just really good as for the world building I am stunned how it still grew and morphed into something more beautiful.
Overall, a really solid conclusion to this series and while tog remains superior, this series will have a special place in my heart!!

Listening to the graphic audio just so I can hear the loml Az say “Be careful of how you speak of my high lady”🤭
Reread #4
5. MARIA reviews for A Court of Wings and Ruin
I see what they all say about the second book being your favorite if you like enemies to lovers and the third book if you like battle. The second one still has my heart but this one was interesting. It was cool to see it all come together, and for them to fight this battle. On to the next one!
6. TIFFANY’S TBR reviews for A Court of Wings and Ruin
Sarah J. Maas has done it again with “A Court of Wings and Ruin”—a pure masterpiece. This third installment in the series is a gripping, action-packed journey that weaves together the threads of all the previous books in an exhilarating and satisfying way.
From the very first page, Maas plunges us into a world of high stakes and intense emotions, keeping us on the edge of our seats. The intricate plot, rich character development, and breathtaking battles make it impossible to put the book down. Each chapter builds anticipation, expertly blending suspense, romance, and intrigue.
The final 100 pages are nothing short of brilliant. Maas masterfully ties up loose ends while delivering twists and turns that leave you breathless. Hold on for dear life, because this epic conclusion will leave you craving more of the world and characters that Maas has so vividly brought to life.
“A Court of Wings and Ruin” is a testament to Maas’s unparalleled storytelling prowess. It’s a must-read for fans of fantasy and romantasy, solidifying her place as one of the genre’s most talented authors.
7. LEILAD reviews for A Court of Wings and Ruin
Let me start by saying that at first I was VERY hesitant to make this purchase, but I am so glad that I did!!
I was worried about the reviews on here where people received the UK version in error (smaller physical size), or they received books with missing pages, or whole sections of chapters that were just completely jumbled around.
The book I received was just like what I have seen in the big-name book stores, but without that big-name price. Upon delivery, I quickly flipped through to make sure there were no obvious binding issues or missing pages. This matched the item description to my relief!
My only complaint (it’s more just a preference with regard to anything with a potentially fragile exterior) would be the way it was shipped: in a much larger box and without packing material. It arrived with a couple other ordered items all in the same big box, but it was loose and bouncing around in there. Fortunately, it didn’t sustain any physical damage to the cover from the trip.
All in all I’m pleased with the purchase!
8. ELISABETH RUTMAN reviews for A Court of Wings and Ruin
3rd book in a series that keeps the plot moving!
I read a lot of romantic fantasy, dark romantic fantasy, and historical fiction. The overall plot layout to this series is not something drastically new or original of your an avid reader in the genre. That being said, as someone who enjoys these plotlines, the books are well written. I find there is a perfect balance of descriptive writing, really making it easy to imagine the world and characters presented. I really cares about all.of the characters, by the middle of the book and the plot is fast paced while being able to have the reader consider about the what might be happening within and behind the storylines of each characters relationships between each other, with themselves, and what that means to the place they call home.
Sex scene are.erotic while also.being c!assy. Personally, I would have liked a couple more in book.3. Haha but.that’s me
If you have ever read the “Afterlife Saga” this series has many.of the same themes within it.
They are different, but both series are Fantasy.Romance.
3 books in and I can say that this series is perfect for taking your mind off of everything while letting your mind take a trip into the world of Prythian !
9. MMG reviews for A Court of Wings and Ruin
A Court of Wings and Ruin is a dazzling conclusion to Sarah J. Maas’s beloved trilogy that left me utterly enchanted. From the moment I dove back into the world of Prythian, I was swept away by Feyre’s journey, filled with intrigue, betrayal, and heart-stopping action.
The stakes have never been higher as Feyre navigates the treacherous waters of the Spring Court, all while plotting to save her world from impending doom. Maas’s writing is so vivid that I felt every twist and turn alongside the characters, and let me tell you, there are plenty! The pacing is relentless, making it impossible to put down as I raced through the pages, my heart pounding with each revelation.
What truly stands out is the character development. Feyre’s evolution into a formidable High Lady is inspiring, and the dynamics within her inner circle are richer than ever. The humor, the tension, and the emotional depth had me laughing, gasping, and even shedding a few tears.
In short, this book is a rollercoaster of emotions and a must-read for any fantasy lover. I can’t recommend it enough! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
10. CHAN reviews for A Court of Wings and Ruin
lots of INNUENDO and GROWLING and WING STROKING
but yeah I still fucking 5 starred it. I know that this series is “problematic” and “not good” or whatever, but I just really enjoyed it.
for me, characters are EVERYTHING in a book and I just really feel connected to most of these ones. ESPECIALLY the side characters. I also am a total sucker for like tight knit squads & family relationships in my books and this totally had that.
yeah, okay so maybe the plot was a little lacking. I really do think that the main build up of these past 2 books was resolved too quickly and wasn’t INTENSE enough to justify all the hoopla.
but again. I liked this. come for, I don’t really care.
