Okay, I’m seeing a lot of people not understanding that ACOTAR 6,7 and 8 are one book so I’m going to try and explain it.
Imagine you are a writer and you have this really great storyline going on where there is a lot happening. You have a villian (Koschei) who is still at large. You have the human queens who the Inner Circle have been keeping tabs on and who are up to no good as well. You have an ill fated mating bond as another obstacle and then of course you have a Seer who can not only predict things and see things and spy (wink) but who also holds so much power that not even SHE knows all that she is able to do yet.
Now, you’re writing this book with all of these plots (and more) and you cannot fit everything into a single binding. What do you do? Do you forget the story all together that you have worked so hard to create or do you section it into different parts in order to tell the story that needs to be told?
ACOSF had four parts just as ACOTAR 6,7 and 8 have four parts. ACOTAR 6 is part one. ACOTAR 7 is most likely part 2 and 3 and ACOTAR 8 will be the fourth and final part of the story. There is the beginning, the long middle and finally the end.
ACOTAR 6 is not a novella. It cannot even be considered one because of the amount of pages going over 300. There’s your part one. First section.
ACOTAR 7 is longer with it’s well over 500 pages. That’s your part 2 and 3. Second section.
ACOTAR 8 will be your part four. Your last section.
As the author has stated, it is one book. The only issue was that all the sections (all the pages) could not have been binded into one physical book. So they had to make it three. 💙🩷
