sixth ACOTAR book is already confirmed, there hasn't been news about its title, premise, or release timeline — and readers are beginning to get frustrated. It's been four years since A Court of Silver Flames came out, and with the first part of Sarah J. Maas' Crescent City series now complete, many were hoping for ACOTAR updates. However, there's been silence on that front.

We know that another novel is on Barnes & Noble's ACOTAR displays leading to all sorts of speculation online, the day came and went without any news. This is a concerning development for the franchise, especially after another recent disappointment.

Despite Reader Hopes, A Court Of Thorns & Roses Book 6 Still Hasn't Been Announced

Fans Are Frustrated After ACOTAR's Anniversary Came & Went

Ahead of the the new Night Court editions of the books earlier this year, but a new book reveal would be the biggest and best way to celebrate.

With years between Nesta's story and the next chapter already, I'm beginning to worry about the franchise's future.

This makes it particularly disappointing that ACOTAR book six hasn't been officially announced yet. Anniversary or not, news of the next installment feels long overdue. House of Flame and Shadow came out in January 2024. If no updates surface soon, it could mean we're looking at more than two years without a new novel from Maas. This would be a record for the author, who tends to release new work every year or two. And with years between Nesta's story and the next chapter already, I'm beginning to worry about the franchise's future.

With The ACOTAR Series Slowing Down, I'm Worried About The Franchise's Future

Readers Need A Better Idea Of What To Expect When It Comes To Sequels

Maas' 2023 book deal with Bloomsbury made it sound like she had a lot planned for the future, and the author herself has spoken about releases that are in the works. However, it certainly seems like she's slowing down when it comes to her publication schedule. That's not unheard of as authors become more successful and well-known. And it isn't always a bad thing. Writing books back to back can take a toll, and moving too quickly isn't always conducive to high-quality work.

That said, readers are growing antsy about the lack of updates and transparency regarding the next ACOTAR sequel. This could become an issue for the franchise's future, as it could result in longtime fans losing interest in what's next. Even if A Court of Thorns & Roses book six doesn't come out for another few years, it's good to set clear expectations. This prevents the sort of disappointment that accompanied the series' 10th anniversary, and it also ensures that people continue looking forward to future releases.

ACOTAR's Book 6 Frustrations Are Even Worse After The Hulu Show's Cancellation

The lack of ACOTAR book six news is more frustrating after the franchise's other recent disappointment: the cancellation of Hulu's adaptation. Things hadn't looked good for the long-gestating ACOTAR show in quite some time. But 2024 brought the news that the series would no longer move forward on the streamer. Although it's possible the romantasy series could be picked up elsewhere, that's yet another project that hasn't received any updates.

Needless to say, things don't look promising for readers hoping to see their favorite books brought to the small screen. Coupled with the tragic lack of news regarding book six, A Court of Thorns & Roses is starting to look stagnant. Given that it's still among the most popular books on BookTok, it's sad to imagine the series petering out when it could still be thriving. Hopefully, news that reinvigorates the story will crop up soon — before readers grow too detached from Maas' story.
