However, in doing so it costs a big price that she must now repay. When she spots a deer being pursued by a wolf, she doesn’t hesitate to kill it for its flesh. In this series, we follow a girl named Feyre who has hunted and killed predators all her life to survive. It originally started out as a Beauty and the Beast retelling but quickly took a twist when hitting the second and third installments. This series consisted of three full-length books and one novella in total but with the new release, there are now five books. In June 2020, the ACOTAR series got a new cover look and only these books were placed in the adult section in all stores. Maas later released the first book to the ACOTAR series in 2015. She became a New York Times bestselling author for the YA series that had readers falling in love with the fictional story of a young assassin, Celeana Sardothien. “Throne of Glass” was the first book in the series which she started writing back when she was just 16 years old with her first book released in 2012. “Throne of Glass” is a series that consists of seven books and one prequel. While her books are technically marked as Young Adult High Fantasy, many believe that it should really be considered Adult Fantasy since Young Adult describes works written for the ages 12 to 18. Maas is one of the many authors best known for her High Fantasy writing. Millions of copies have been sold and are translated into 37 languages. Maas is the author of the “Throne of Glass” series, the “A Court of Thorns and Roses” (ACOTAR) series, as well as the newest edition still being worked on, the “Crescent City” trilogy.
