Margot Robbie and SJM are friends! That 2024 photo of them in a coffee shop in New York was the first time they met

TV show updates: SJM has the rights back to all her material, right now the focus is on books. She wants to be heavily involved in design, sound, and casting in the future if it ever happens and wants to take the time to find the perfect casting (hasn’t found a perfect Rhys yet)

Tamlin redemption arc? Difficult subject and nuanced because many women have left abusive partners because of her books, have that real life association of Tamlin with former partners, doesn’t want to discredit or ruin those feelings

Mates can be biological mates vs. true mates, like Rhysand’s parents were physically compatible but not otherwise for example

She is exploring the concept of free will, “what does that look like with a mating bond. does nature get it wrong sometimes, or right sometimes? what do you do if you don’t want to be mates”

Confirms that Nesta and Cassian are true mates (as well as Bryce and Hunt)

TWO new ACOTAR books coming out back to back, Oct 27 this year and Jan 12 next year

The story was so big that no amount of glue could hold it together, so it is being split by parts. Part 1 is ACOTAR 6 coming out Oct 27. Parts 2 and 3 will be ACOTAR 7 coming out Jan 12. Part 4 will be a third book, is yet to be written!

TLDR of the multi part/multi book: three physical volumes but one story meant to be read ideally as one massive story as opposed to a trilogy

What did Lorcan do? 👀 Might get some bonus content or a Christmas gift

Where is Vaughn? “that’s actually a thing I think about a lot.. a lot. that’s all i’ll say about that”

When asked about more Throne of Glass / World of Throne of Glass - maybe one day, needs to dedicate a lot of time if she does do it but doesn’t have that time now. it’s still something she wants to do at a different time

Coy about us potentially learning more about mor’s powers, the king of hybern’s name, dusk court, bryaxis (“where does fear itself go?”)

In discussion with Jenna Bush Hager, Maas says she knows what four of those books will be about. Those releases are set up in what she calls a “taxiing position.”

The one she plans to publish next is in the “A Court of Thorns and Roses” series, she says, which already has five books. “I’m very, very excited about that one,” she adds.

As for the “Crescent City” series, the ending of “House of Flame and Shadow” feels, very much, like it could be the conclusion of these books. But in conversation with Jenna, Maas confirmed the “Crescent City” journey indeed will continue.

“You will have to wait a bit,” she says of the fourth book. “On the airport taxiing line, it’s a little down, but I know who the book’s about. I know the big ideas of what I want to happen.”

Later, back in the dimmed corner of the cocktail bar, Maas tells me more about her “taxiing line.”

“There’s one book that I’m going to be writing after this next ‘ACOTAR’ book that I’m very excited about. I’m not going to say what world it’s in. I’m not going to say anything,” she grins as she puts her palms up to me.

“It’s a story that’s been brewing in the back of my mind for a long time,” she continues. “I think it’s going to be a very emotional book for me to write, just in terms of the world I’ll be writing and the characters that might pop up.”

Cassian: Just my love for you.

Cassian: *chugs entire bottle*

Feyre: Kill them

Rhysand: That's a bit extreme, I was hoping for a more passive solution

Rhys: They had a fight.

Feyre: Then why are they holding hands?

-Crescent City series is inspired by a lot of different things, like growing up in NYC, some of the things she mentioned: Roman empire, Greek and Norse mythology 

-when asked what Rhysand’s last name is, she laughed and said “I’m not going to tell you guys, it’s a secret” - it might come up in a future book, she says she’s having too much fun torturing us

-”ACOSF is very much a romance to the point where the couple of sexy scenes in that?...yeah. I’m excited for readers to read those chapters” ACOSF will be chock full of romance

In a live with @galerarecord, Sarah J. Maas was asked about the status of any book to screen adaptations. A few years ago, Throne of Glass was going to be adapted into a TV show by Hulu and ACOTAR was going to be adapted into a movie by Tempo Productions. However, those projects did not work out and Sarah elaborates more on this:

I'm hosting a rereadathon on my Instagram page, @rhysand_of_velaris!

We'll be starting ACOTAR on September 20 and discussing on October 4th! You can start and finish anytime between those two dates!

I plan on holding giveaways and lives to let everyone be involved and will be sharing all posts and stories on Instagram when they are tagged with the hashtag #rhysofvelreadathon!

Hit meeeee
