Maasverse

By Sarah J. Maas

3 connected series

Sarah J. Maas's shared universe, where the fae courts of Prythian, the modern Lunathion of Crescent City and the world of Throne of Glass turn out to be connected. The crossovers become explicit starting with Crescent City, and every series can be read on its own, but reading them all makes the easter eggs and the reveals hit twice as hard.

Reading Order - Crescent City

💕 Bryce Quinlan & Hunt Athalar

If ACOTAR is Maas in fairy tale mode, Crescent City is Maas in urban fantasy mode, with phones, nightclubs and fallen angels. Bryce Quinlan is half fae and half human, living her best life in Lunathion until a demon murders her best friend and leaves her shattered. To find the killer she ends up forced to work with Hunt Athalar, an enslaved angel with a reputation as an executioner, and what starts as a reluctant alliance turns into one of the most intense slow burns the author has ever written. Mystery, politics, a rebellion against the Asteri, lots of humor, great smut and a crossover with Prythian that will blow your mind.

Reading Order - A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR)

💕 Feyre & Rhysand · Nesta & Cassian

The series that turned half the world into romantasy readers. Feyre is a human huntress who kills the wrong wolf and gets dragged into Prythian, the land of the fae, where nothing is what it seems and the man she thought was the villain turns out to be the love of her life. Rival courts, magical bargains, wings, mates, a Night Court that will ruin you for every other book and a second installment that people still talk about years later. It's Beauty and the Beast, but with fae, war and plenty of smut.

Reading Order - Throne of Glass (ToG)

💕 Aelin & Rowan · Chaol & Yrene · Manon & Dorian

The series that started as the story of an assassin in a deadly competition and ended up as one of the most beloved epic fantasies in romantasy. Celaena Sardothien walks out of the salt mines of Endovier to compete for the title of King's Champion, and from there everything grows: forbidden magic, fallen kingdoms, witches who ride wyverns, immortal fae and a heroine who has to decide who she really is. It starts out YA and keeps rising in intensity, romance and spice with every book, with a huge cast that will break your heart more than once. Rowan, Manon and that thousand page final book, friends, then come tell me you don't get why so many people defend this series with their lives.
