## Summary

Sarah J. Maas’ sixth “A Court of Thorns and Roses” novel sold 1.7 million copies on its release day, setting a new record for the author. The result shows the scale of demand for the fantasy series after a five-year wait for its latest instalment, and it is currently tracking to be the year’s biggest book release.

The worldwide figure covers pre-orders and first-day sales of English-language print and ebooks at major retailers and independent bookshops in the US, Canada, UK and Australia; it excludes audiobooks and translated editions. Sales were 600% higher than the release-day total for the fifth book in 2021, and Maas has now sold more than 100 million books across three series. Book seven is due on 12 January, while a planned television adaptation was scrapped in 2025 and its rights reverted to Maas.
