A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas dominates the fantasy romance book genre and quickly rose to The New York Times bestsellers list after it was published in 2015. Maas books are published in 37 languages, have sold more than 13 million copies and include the authors young adult series, Throne of Glass, and the more contemporary fantasy Crescent City series.

In March 2021, Hulu announced an upcoming adaptation of A Court of Thorns and Roses with Ronald D. Moore of Outlander, fame tapped as producer and ever since, the fae-centric fever has been heating up.

Its been two years, and theres no word yet on when the ACOTAR television series will be released, but that hasnt stopped fans from building fake casting lists on TikTok and debating whether or not Hulu will do the series justice.

Personally, I think it will, given the streamers success with adapting Margaret Atwoods Handmaids Tale and Sally Rooneys Normal People. The delightful and irreverently funny series The Great was adapted from a play, and creative people within Hulu are also involved in the upcoming ACOTAR series.

If youve read ACOTAR, then you definitely should read Maas two other series, Crescent City and Throne of Glass; they may be more connected than you think. In the meantime, for readers who have finished Maas canon of books, heres a list of similar fandom favorites, indie-publisher twins and a few promising ones yet to be released.
