Reader darling, Christmas is nearly here, which means it's time to start getting your gift list together.
Whether you're a romantasy fan, or you're in charge of buying for one, there's plenty of potential from the world of Sarah J Maas.
The new A Court of Thorns and Roses novel came out on 23 October and broke Maas's own records by selling 1.7 million copies on the day of release.
As someone who queued up outside the Clapham Waterstones to buy it (at 8am in the pouring rain, no less), I'm well place to give Velaris advice.
So below, I've compiled my absolute top recommendations for ACOTAR gifts you should consider buying, or asking for, this Christmas.

A Court of Splintered Harmony... duh
Sarah J Maas's sixth instalment of the ACOTAR series was released last month – so if you haven't read it by now, what have you been doing? A Court of Splintered Harmony is part of what Maas is calling 'The Valkyrie Cycle,' a series of four movements centred around one new story.
In it, the Night Court faces a fresh set of challenges as the Death God Koschei begins to stir, threatening their peace. However, the biggest difficulties seem to come from within.
I bought the new book on the day of release and polished it off in about two days. It's very much a setting up story for greater trials to come but, like all her other works, it's intensely fun, magical and easy to read. Definitely worth it if you want to dive back into the lands of Prythian.

A Court of Forgotten Melody
The next two movements in the Valkyrie Cycle will be released in one novel: A Court of Forgotten Melody, to be released on 12 January. If you're looking for a way to treat yourself after the January Blues kicks in, pre-order the next novel before Christmas.
Here's the synopsis for you:
"What was lost will be reclaimed. Prythian might never be the same again. Traditional alliances are crumbling, and no amount of diplomacy seems sufficient to repair them. With the continued threat of Koschei the Deathless on the horizon, a united front is crucial – and farther out of reach than it has ever been before.
"Bonds will be tested. Power will shift. And old enemies will emerge from nightmares of the past. As the Night Court’s Inner Circle disperses far and wide, desperate for any advantage against Koschei and his mighty allies, peace hangs by a fragile thread. But hope can be spun from the darkest of shadows, and the Night Court has its own part to play in the looming crescendo."

For the people in the back: Yes! You should read Crescent City if you're reading the new ACOTAR books. Without giving anything a way, reading this trilogy will really help your understanding of A Court of Splintered Harmony, plus, it's a good read.
Unlike her other series, Crescent City takes the magic of Fae, werewolves, angels and more, and puts them in a modern city. Think Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but somehow crazier.
