I’m sure by now you have encountered at least one person who won’t stop trying to convince you to read the A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) series by Sarah J. Maas (it’s me, hi. I’m the problem, it’s me). If you’re lucky enough not to have received endless nagging from a book-loving friend, you’ve probably at least heard TikTokers raving about the series on Booktok — and for good reason. I have been a lifelong reader with hundreds of books under my belt and I have never experienced an emotional rollercoaster quite like the ones written by Sarah J. Maas. If you’re interested in jumping on the ACOTAR bandwagon, we have good news for you. Today through May 20, Amazon is having a massive book sale and TikTok best-sellers including ACOTAR are up to 50% off.
In addition to ACOTAR, Maas has also written the Throne of Glass series and the Crescent City series, which are also on sale for a smaller discount. But let’s start with ACOTAR.
BEST DEAL
Sure, you could start by purchasing the first book (which is also 50% off), but if we’re being honest, there’s no way you aren’t going to cruise through the entire series so you might as well buy the full five-book box set and save yourself some money.
OK, now that we’ve gotten ACOTAR out of the way, we can get into the best series (in my opinion): Throne of Glass. Throne of Glass was Maas’ first series and it’s currently her only completed series. It leans a bit more into fantasy than ACOTAR (which is more romance-heavy) but is still easy enough for non-fantasy readers to enjoy.
EDITOR'S CHOICE
The Throne of Glass series contains eight books and the box set is on sale for almost 20% off right now. If you’re interested in learning about the best Throne of Glass reading order, I break that all down for you here.
Last and certainly least is Maas’ most current series, Crescent City.
LATEST BOOK
Crescent City is a modern fantasy that leans heavily into fantasy and romance. This box set contains the three Crescent City books that are currently published.
The third and most recent book in the series, House of Flame and Shadow, was released in January 2024, but Maas confirmed that a fourth Crescent City book is in the works during an interview with TODAY.
ACOTAR isn’t the only wildly popular series included in the sale. Lots of other Booktok-famous reads like Divine Rivals, Fourth Wing (The Empyrean, book 1), One Dark Window, and many more are all 50% off as well. You can check out the entire Amazon book sale here. Happy shopping!
