Sarah J. Maas Books in Order

Sarah J. Maas is an American fantasy author whose work helped define the modern wave of adult and young-adult romantic fantasy. She is best known for three interconnected series: Throne of Glass, the assassin-turned-queen saga she began writing as a teenager; A Court of Thorns and Roses, a beauty-and-the- beast retelling that expanded into a sprawling Prythian mythology; and Crescent City, a contemporary-fantasy mystery set in a modern magical world.

Her books are marked by long, character-driven arcs, ensemble casts, and a willingness to push her protagonists through brutal narrative turns before granting them hard-earned catharsis. Maas’s three series share an interconnected multiverse that becomes increasingly visible in the later books of each.
