So, I'm currently in the middle of drafting the fifth (!!!) Throne of Glass book, which is turning out to be a LOT of fun--anddddd I can't really say anything about the book yet since Queen of Shadows is still months away from publication. :P

BUT I have some awesome updates regarding A Court of Thorns and Roses!

If you've pre-ordered the book and/or plan to pre-order it, then click here for some truly amazing prizes/goodies from my publisher! (Open to several international territories, but not all.)

I'm going to be on tour for prettyyyy much the entire month of May, and I am so, so, SO excited to meet you guys (and see some of you again!) If you live in the US, here are my tour dates for ACOTAR:


And if you live in the UK, I'm just gonna post the tour dates again (so it's all in one place):



ACOTAR also received some truly stellar reviews in the past week, and I'm pretty giddy over them (it's also SO weird to realize that this is now a REAL BOOK!). The reviews are all on the longer side thanks to the synopses, so I'm just going to post snippets (click on the links for the full reviews).
From Kirkus (okay, I cried when I got this one):

"A wild new take on 'Beauty and the Beast'... [the] romantic courtship sizzles with sexual tension before reaching a consensual consummation... The sexual tension and deadly action are well-supported by Maas' expertly drawn, multidimensional characters and their nuanced interpersonal dynamics. A satisfying conclusion to the storyline leaves the door open for future books. Sexy and romantic."

From Publishers Weekly:

"Maas (the Throne of Glass series) draws themes and plot points from several fairy tales, fueling a well-developed world and complex relationships. The gruesome politics and magical might of the Fae may seem to leave Feyre hopelessly outmatched, but her grit and boundless loyalty demand that her foes—and readers—sit up and pay attention."

And from RT Book Reviews (confession: totally danced around my kitchen this morning when I read this one. "Vicious and intoxicating" might be my new favorite review sentence ever):


Excuse me while I go cry happy tears in the corner.

Ahem.

Some of you *might* have seen some tweets on Friday with pictures of the absolutely gorgeous final copies of ACOTAR, but those pictures honestly do NOT do the US hardcover justice. The US cover is printed on this shimmery, pearlescent paper, and I've had it sitting on my desk for the past few days JUST so I can pet it whenever I want.

TBH, one of my favorite things about this cover is the back--which features the rest of the illustration (aka the rest of Feyre's face). And the most baller crown in the history of mankind. (Seriously, I would wear that in the street.) AND the amazing, lovely blurb from New York Times bestselling author and all-around BAMF, Alexandra Bracken.

Sooo, I thought I'd share the full US jacket with you guys, along with the full UK jacket, too (click for full-size)!

Annnnd that's it for now! I'll be back soon with *more* exciting news/info!
