If you are a fan of romantasy novels, you might be in love with Sarah J. Maas because the author has created not one, not two, but three best-selling fantasy series—the Throne of Glass series, the ACOTAR series, and her most recent, the Crescent City series!
The author’s latest release was House of Flame and Shadow, the third book in the Crescent City series, which was released in January 2024.
But Sarah J. Maas has confirmed that a fourth Crescent City book is officially happening!
The author has admitted that she’s got ideas for several more books, and her fans should keep an eye out for her new releases!
Apart from the Crescent City book 4, the author has confirmed that a sixth ACOTAR book is on the horizon.
What Will Be Sarah J. Maas’s Next Book?
If you’re an ardent fan of the author, you may have already completed her first two book series, and since the third book in the Crescent City series was released last year, you may have read that too.
But if you expect the fourth book in the series to be the author’s next, you’d be wrong!
In TODAY’s interview, Sarah J. Maas revealed that the next book she plans to publish will be set in the “A Court of Thorns and Roses” universe.
That’s all the author has revealed, so we don’t know anything about the plot details or even a release window.
Maas also mentioned that she has general ideas about her next book and is very excited to work on it. And that’s not all, because she hinted at a possibility that there will also be a seventh book in the ACOTAR series!
Although we have no release date for this new book, we can assume that it will likely take a year or two, considering the author’s publishing schedule in the past few years.
When Will Crescent City Book 4 Be Released?
At this point, Sarah J. Maas has not revealed when the fourth book in the series will be released. However, she mentioned that fans must wait a bit before it comes out!
The author talked openly about her excitement to explore new stories and perspectives within her fantasy world. Maas expressed genuine enthusiasm for diving back into writing Crescent City and building on what’s already established.
Now that the series’ main storyline has wrapped up with the third book, the next entry will focus on new characters. And there’s a plethora of great supporting characters to choose from!
The author revealed that although the book’s release will take quite a while, she already knows who the book will be about and has big ideas of what she wants to write.
As she has already set up a multiverse with all her books, we can expect more crossovers and unique stories exploring the lives of characters we already know, or she can write stories featuring new characters!
How Many Books is Sarah J. Maas Working On?
This fantasy author will be very busy in the coming years because there are many novels to write!
When House of Flame and Shadow was announced in 2023, the author’s publisher, Bloomsbury, revealed that Sarah J. Maas has signed a new four-book deal, in addition to the three books she’s already contracted for!
In her interview, the author also revealed that she has planned out her next four books, but it’s unclear what these books are. One of them could be the sixth ACOTAR book, and hopefully, one would be the Crescent City book 4!
However, if you think that ACOTAR and Crescent City are the only series that are getting new books, you might be in for a surprise.
Sarah J. Maas has also hinted that although the Throne of Glass series is finished, there are other stories in that world that she wants to explore at some point. So, there’s that too!
And with the Crescent City series, she’s already revealed its connection with the ACOTAR series, so it wouldn’t be a stretch to assume that she could connect her third series with both of them!
In her interview with TODAY, the author said, “The gates between worlds could open again, possibly to other places,” clearly hinting that she could bring in the TOG characters in other series. Or maybe she’s working on a completely different series, set in a new world, but in the same multiverse all her other books are set in!
Conclusion
That brings us to the end of the article! The author has confirmed that the Crescent City book 4 is happening, but it will take some time as she’ll be busy with her other projects.
The next book she’s working on is the sixth ACOTAR book, and then there’s a new book deal she’s signed with her publisher, so the author’s literary universe is set to get bigger than it already is!
Although we don’t know the release dates for the author’s upcoming releases, we can still be excited about them. So, share the article with your friends and tell them what their favorite author is up to!
