We ranked the characters most likely to lead ACOTAR 6
The clues point to three clear frontrunners—but each would take Prythian in a very different direction.
With A Court of Thorns and Roses Book 6 on the horizon, here’s our best guess at where Sarah J. Maas is leading us next.
Sometimes it isn’t the loudest battles that linger—it’s the quiet hints. A bonus POV. A single line about exile. A dream that reads more like prophecy.
Sarah J. Maas rarely ends a story; she pauses it. Between A Court of Frost and Starlight and A Court of Silver Flames, the air is still crackling with unfinished business. We know ACOTAR 6 is releasing this October. What we don’t know is whose story will carry the torch.
But there may be a bigger question hiding underneath that one. Because the next book won’t just reveal whose perspective comes next. It may reveal what kind of story ACOTAR is becoming.
Is Maas building toward a political thriller wrapped in romance? A seer’s journey into prophecy and power? A rebellion that stretches across multiple Courts?
The clues are already there. They’ve been hiding in bonus chapters, offhand conversations, and storylines that seemed finished until you look at them twice. So if you’re still here, scroll a little further.
